ABOUT THE EVENT
Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet in person on Tuesday, July 27 at 7:30 PM at The Foodery, 325 Bridge Street, Phoenixville. The group will discuss Sarah Penner’s New York Times Bestseller, The Lost Apothecary. A forgotten history. A secret network of women. A legacy of poison and revenge. Hidden in the depths of 18th century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual 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. Jeopardy enters as a precocious 12-year-old who makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries. Meanwhile, in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her 10th wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles on a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London long ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a stunning twist of fate.
