Book Review of The Apothecary's Daughter

The Apothecary's Daughter
tgriffis avatar reviewed on + 326 more book reviews


The author did a lot of research into the practice of an apothecary as well as the early 19th century medical occupations. I learned a lot about the herbs used in medicines, some still used today. Was definitely a unique storyline than I've ever read before. I even found a quote that I like and will use in my genealogy: "Cemeteries and headstones are for the living...." Will definitely be reading more by this author.
