Translation of: The lost apothecary.
Description
Una historia olvidada. Una red secreta de mujeres. Un legado de veneno y venganza. Bienvenido al boticario perdido. Oculta en las profundidades del Londres del siglo XVIII, una botica secreta atiende a un tipo de clientela inusual. Las mujeres de toda la ciudad susurran sobre una figura misteriosa llamada Nella que vende venenos bien disfrazados para usarlos contra los hombres opresivos en sus vidas. El mundo oscuro de Nella no es lugar para su nueva mecenas, una precoz niña de doce años llamada Eliza Fanning, pero su vínculo inesperado desencadena una serie de consecuencias que resuenan a lo largo de los siglos. Doscientos años después, la aspirante a historiadora Caroline Parcewell descubre un antiguo frasco de boticario en el río Támesis. Ahora que está lidiando con la traición abrasadora de la infidelidad de su esposo, un curioso proyecto de investigación es exactamente la distracción que Caroline necesita. Pero cuando descubre un vínculo entre el vial y los "asesinatos de boticario" de Londres sin resolver desde hace mucho tiempo, el presente alterado de Caroline pronto choca con una historia explosiva, uniendo su destino al de Nella y Eliza en un sorprendente giro que trasciende la barrera del tiempo.
Description
A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Welcome to the lost apothecary. Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of clientele. Women across the city whisper of a mysterious figure named Nella who sells well-disguised poisons to use against the oppressive men in their lives. Nella's dark world is no place for her newest patron, a precocious twelve-year-old girl named Eliza Fanning, but their unexpected bond sparks a string of consequences that echoes through the centuries. Two hundred years later, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell discovers an aged apothecary vial in the River Thames. As she is newly grappling with the searing betrayal of her husband's infidelity, a curious research project is exactly the distraction Caroline needs. But when she discovers a link between the vial and London's long-unsolved "apothecary murders," Caroline's upended present soon collides with an explosive history, binding her fate to Nella's and Eliza's in a stunning twist that transcends the barrier of time.
