A review by rachel_mft
A Secret Alchemy by Emma Darwin

2.0

Didn't love this, which was a disappointment given how much I enjoyed her first novel. I didn't like the way she approached the historical material--I wanted it tethered more in time and in a sequence of events, so I might learn something, instead of jumping from place to place like she did. And tying the historical and modern stories together didn't really work for me this time, either.
