A review by annarella
The Hemlock Cure by Joanne Burn
4.0
There's plenty of things I loved in this book: the vivid and well researched historical background, the herb lore, and the style of writing.
It was an informative and fascinating read and I liked how the mix of fiction and facts worked.
But it's also terribly slow and nothing seems to happen even if the atmosphere is dark and there's a lot of sense of menace.
You have to be patient because it's an interesting read.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
