Publisher's Summary
1665: Susannah Leyton has grown up behind the counter of her father's apothecary shop in bustling Fleet Street. A skilled student - the resinous scents of lavender, rosemary, liquorice, and turpentine run in her blood - her father has granted her the freedom to pursue her considerable talents. But Susannah is dealt a shocking blow when her widowed father marries again, and her new stepmother seems determined to remove her from the apothecary shop for good.
A proposal of marriage from the charming Henry Savage seems to offer Susannah an escape. But as the plague sweeps through London, tragedy strikes, and dark secrets from her husband's past begin to unfold. It will take all of Susannah's courage and passion to save herself from tragedy.

Apothecary' Daughter
Loved this story. Narration was excellent. Very descriptive of London Town and the perils of the plague and the Great Fire of London. Loved the characters brought to life amongst the hard times

Good
Only good. But I did like the time that this was set in a time of historical darkness and despair. But another i hate to say it but predictable love story. Yes it is a good easy read but nothing to write home about.
