Rezension zu „Apothecary's Daughter “
A vivid tale of love in a time of fire, plague and prejudice -- Katherine Webb Romantic, engaging and hugely satisfying. This is one of those novels that makes you feel like you've travelled back in time -- Katie Fforde A colourful story with a richly-drawn backdrop of London in the grip of plague. A wonderful debut novel -- Carole Matthews This is a worthy debut novel from Charlotte Betts... her reference to the plague... really takes the reader back to the 15th century South Coast Register Fantastic in the way it depicts how much women's lives have changed since then and how lucky we are now. I recommend it for anyone who loves a great historical novel with love, betrayal, fear and the overcoming of great obstacles Toowoomba Chronicle A feast for the senses. With the sensual language of Patrick Suskind's Perfume and the historical flavour of Philippa Gregory, this is a lush, immersive read for historical fiction fans, set during one of the most exciting eras of the city's history Holiday Magazine
