pickThe Lost Apothecary has officially made it onto my top 10 list of favorite books. It took me a few days after finishing it to get my thoughts together because I just wanted to soak up the book for a while.
First, author Sarah Penner did an amazing job writing this book. With a dual timeline and three different perspectives, it could have gotten very confusing, very fast. But it didn‘t - it wasn‘t hard to keep track of times (cont. in comments)
I listened to the audiobook of The Lost Apothecary and in addition to being well-written, it was also well-spoken. The narrators -- Lorna Bennett, Lauren Anthony and Lauren Irwin -- were top notch, appropriate for their ages and eras. I particularly enjoyed the richness of Bennett‘s voice, who spoke as Nella in the audiobook. 4y
