From Publishers Weekly
Klassen's debut novel, Lady of Milkweed Manor, was a Christy Award finalist, and her new Regency promises the same thanks to fine storytelling and knowledge of the apothecary's art. Lillian Haswell yearns to leave her father's apothecary shop in their small town and happily accepts an invitation to live in London. She leaves behind a handicapped brother, friends, her lonely father and memories of her lost mother, but finds that London holds its own troubles. Will Roger Bromley propose? What about the timid physician Adam Graves? And the dastardly Roderick Marlow? Will her humble origins ruin her chances of a good match? Complications ensue as Lillian is called home when word comes of her father's ill health. She takes over the apothecary shop—illegal, because a woman could not dispense medicine—and begins again thanks to her father's former assistant Francis Baylor. Klassen blends her tale well; each ingredient—romance, friendship, healing arts, mystery—is measured to produce a lively, lengthy tale that will satisfy Regency aficionados and general readers, too.

I would love to win this book. I tried to get it as a wild card but the contact I had for it never returned my emails. I've been wanting to read this one for a while. :-) You know my email address, so I won't leave it.
Blessings,

I'd love to win because my reading time is usually dedicated to the little ones (the fairy tales are still fun but . . .) and it would be nice to enjoy a well-recommended fiction novel while getting all my daily chores done. Thanks!
