Editorial Review:

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.

LOVED this book.. as I couldn't put it down as I wanted to know what happened around the next corner so to speak.. am not the best reviewer.. But this book is well worth the money you will spend on it.. and will leave you with a warmness in your heart and a smile on your face...

Rating: - Fairly Decent Regency Read
"The Apothecary's Daughter" is a well researched, well written foray into the Regency Period. While there were times I felt the author tried too hard to be Jane Austen, the book is a lively read with fun and funny characters, a bunch of good foils and a lovely ending. While not "the best novel ever" it's worth a read.
