As the featured event in the Community Read, Sarah Penner, a New York Times best-selling author, will speak to the community on Tuesday, April 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the Chandelier Community Event Center. The author event is completely free and open to the community and will be followed by a book signing. Copies of The Lost Apothecary will be available for purchase thanks to the Pan Yan Bookstore.

 

The Lost Apothecary tells a story of revenge, women supporting women, and lost history. Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop sells well-disguised poisons for women to use against the oppressive men in their lives. Meanwhile, in present-day London, an aspiring historian stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago. 

 

Copies of the book can be checked out at the Library, and the eBook and audiobook can be found on the Ohio Digital Library, the Libby app, and hoopla. For more information call 419-447-3751 or visit www.tiffinsenecalibrary.org/community-read.
