Publisher's summary

Isabel Kinnell, the daughter of a kindly apothecary in York, has her life thrown into turmoil when her father remarries. His unkind and critical new wife, Suzanne, despises the spirited Bel, and the household is disrupted by discord and chaos. Luckily, Bel finds solace in her father's apothecary, where she learns to make lotions and potions to ease any ailment.

However, after her father's unexpected death, Suzanne sells the Apocathery and sends Bel to a harsh convent school. Realizing she cannot go on, the rebellious Bel runs away from her school and joins the travelling freak show, The World of Regis.

Bel quickly comes to love this strange and diverse group of players and with them, she travels, enjoying the freedom and finding an unlikely family in each and every freak. Then, one day, the show is invited to perform for Royalty.

While wandering the ground of the Dainfield Estate, Bel happens upon the Duke of Dainfield after a terrible accident. She assists him and so begins a journey of drama and intrigue until, eventually, she finds perfect joy, in Lucas, the Duke, the love of her life.

The Apothecary's Daughter is an entertaining and intriguing story that examines the underworld of the famous Victorian freak shows and shows that love at first sight is not just a happy myth.
