PJ and Bonnie do their best not to spoil the suspenseful story of The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner. Join in the discussion!
Novel Summary from Goodreads:
A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them - setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course.
Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.
Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary’s register.
Atascocita staff are "ringing in the new year!" We talk about music, programs that have music, how music impacts our health, and how music is interwoven in our lives -- with staff talking about specific artists and musical memories.
