Free Audiobook : The Lost Apothecary, by Sarah Penner

In the heart of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop hums with whispers of liberation. Nella, a woman scarred by betrayal, uses her knowledge of herbs and poisons to help women escape abusive men, her vials a silent rebellion against a world stacked against them. But when a young girl named Eliza walks through her door, an unexpected bond sparks a cascade of consequences that could bring her carefully hidden world crashing down.

Across the centuries, Caroline, a modern-day American in London, is piecing her life back together after her marriage falls apart. A chance find, a small glass vial etched with a bear, ignites her historian’s curiosity, leading her to a forgotten tale of murder and mystery. As she chases clues through archives and muddy riverbanks, she uncovers threads that tie her to a past she never imagined.

This audiobook, brought to life with vivid narration, is a haunting blend of suspense and sisterhood. Sarah Penner crafts a story that dances between two eras, pulling you into a web of secrets and survival. Ideal for fans of historical mysteries with a feminist edge, it’s a listen that lingers, urging you to root for women who defy the odds.
