Summary
Lilly Haswell remembers everything—whether she wants to, or not …

As Lilly toils in her father's apothecary, preparing herbs and remedies by rote, she is haunted by memories of her mother's disappearance. Villagers whisper the tale, but her father refuses to discuss it. All the while, she dreams of the world beyond—of travel and adventure and romance.

When a relative offers to host her in London, Lilly discovers the pleasures and pitfalls of fashionable society and suitors, as well as clues about her mother. But will Lilly find what she is searching for—the truth of the past and a love for the future?

Blending romance, family drama, and fascinating historical detail, The Apothecary's Daughter is a novel to savor and share.

Loved Davina Porter as the narrator she could make reading the phone book interesting! The story line is good. I enjoy strong female characters with supporting male characters. Especially if they are non traditional for the time periods. Glad I read it.

Wow! What a wonderful regency romance story. So well written, I wasn’t sure who Lilly would end up with out of all of the male characters she encounters. I even changed allegiances from chapter to chapter. The audiobook narrated by Davina Porter is delightful. Complete with British accents and brogues, Porter brings this story to life with a versatile array of distinct vocal characters. The flow was easy to understand and the pacing held true. I enjoyed listening to this story and narrator at a speed of 1.2. This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.
