Product Description:
Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.

To me a good story has strong characters and bits of history woven throughout. It becomes even better when I learn about healing properties of plants. As a result, this book is now one of my "must read again" novels. I can't wait to read more from this author.

I honestly have not read a historical romance for at least five years if not longer. My taste in books is more on the fantasy/sci-fi side of things so I typically would have never gone for this particular book - but I happened to accidentally purchase it a long time ago.
I considered deleting the book - but I decided that I should probably at least try reading it before I tossed it out so quickly. I started reading and couldn't stop!
Mind you, there were points in the book ... Read More

truly excellent read. I could not puy it down. I especially enjoyed the time period in whicch it was set (early 1800's).

I thought this was a beautiful and wholesome story! I felt like 85% of the book was regular, everyday goings-on in a small village (with typical good and bad relationships and events) which sounds boring, yet I could not put the book down! I loved the ending, which felt like the finale to a fireworks display... just when I thought there couldn't be something else to find out, BANG! there was! Lots going on in the last 30 pages!! Loved it! I would definitely recommend this one!

The Apothecary's Daughter is good reading as a romance novel, but rises above many of its competitors due to its detailed description of what eventually became the pharmacy profession, of the fight between doctors and apothecaries for the right to treat with drugs, and with its story of how women were treated if they trespassed into male territory here. None of this plot takes anything away from the romance either. Good job.
