And sheesh, the mAgiCK pOtiOnS…Please note, that’s magic with an “ick.” If Ye Olde Tyme remedies and potions worked a tenth as well in the real world as they do in fiction, a lot of modern medicine would be unnecessary.
Moderate: Murder and Pregnancy

Minor: Chronic illness, Infertility, Cancer, Vomit, and Grief
This book heavily talks about the inability to conceive, or successfully carry a child to full term. The book also talks about infidelity and the fallout from cheating in a relationship. I would pass a word of caution to anyone who has strong grief around children or the concept of pregnancy.asanders88's review

The story follows a centuries ago apothecary full of poisons and secrets and the clues she left behind for a present-day woman, going through her own struggles, to find.
While I did find the book a little slow in the middle, the ending more than made up for it!
