Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual kind of 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. But the apothecary’s fate is jeopardized when her newest patron, a precocious 12-year-old, makes a fatal mistake, sparking a string of consequences that echo through the centuries.

I loved the performers voices. Brava. Especially Nella. I’m a sucker for English accents and historical London settings

More Scary & Violent Than "Heartwarming Adventure"

A bit too preachy
Revisado: 11-18-21
After Harry Potter this seemed too forced. I think kiddos might enjoy it more than adults and it is a sweet story

Historia
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Disappointed

After listening to Jim Dale’s performance of the Harry Potter series, I find this performance hard edged, lacking the nuance and familiarity of Dale’s voices. Too bad.

Raw vivid and brutal like a train wreck you can’t stop watching
Revisado: 03-29-21
I finished this book feeling the same way about its “hero” Winter Santiago that I did when I began this book. Disturbed by how much her identity is attached to wealth and how it’s possible to redefine morality so that good/bad/indifference are all made equal and irrelevant.

Historia
The definitive biography of Edward Gorey, the eccentric master of macabre nonsense. From The Gashlycrumb Tinies to The Doubtful Guest, Edward Gorey's wickedly funny and deliciously sinister little books have influenced our culture in innumerable ways, from the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman to Lemony Snicket. Some even call him the Grandfather of Goth. An eccentric, a gregarious recluse, an enigmatic auteur of whimsically morbid masterpieces, yes - but who was the real Edward Gorey behind the Oscar Wildean pose?

Fresh modern worthy
Revisado: 06-10-19
I completely enjoyed this book. Narrators performance had just the right crispness and irreverence. What a wonderful experience that we can enjoy Gorey and contextualize him in LGBTQ atheistics and culture and at the same time allow him his fabulous mysteries of identity. Highly recommend both the book and the actor ,
