Endearing and lovely!

Julie Klassen does it again! I so enjoy each character as the story unfolds. It was interesting to learn of how epilepsy was looked at during that time. I have MS, Lyme disease, and Epilepsy so this story hit home for me. I enjoyed how Lily grew up through each event, trial and tribulation. Figuring out who she is and what exactly she wanted. Sometimes it takes fumbling everything up and losing everything to see with any clarity. Such a great read. I am glad Lilly realized the love she always needed had been there all along. Beautiful story of compassion, exploration and discovery and love!

This book is a good book. The problem is that the story is slow.

wonderful!

Where does The Apothecary's Daughter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Great book; author masterfully described the inner workings of the human soul. I cried few times while listening - characters seem to be so real, their emotional pain so intimately familiar, so genuine. This story re-invigorates faith in devotion of a true friendship, commitment and love. I disagree with others that note this book is intended for Christian audiences. I am not a Christian, but this story touched my heart.

A well told tale

This book was a sweet story with characters that grew in complexity throughout the tale. For a few days, I escaped into the garden, and the shop, and the village. A couple of characters were developed, and left hanging, as one situation was minimalized too simply after having so much time and concern devoted to it throughout the book,but over all, I really enjoyed this book.

Such a lovely tale! I laughed and cried. Every time I thought it might be coming to an end. It continued on with a new twist.

Enjoyed this one

Davina Porter is an amazing narrator; she read the story like a play. Loved the characters and the story line. Enjoyed the lessons within the tale too.

Heartwarming

The Apothecary’s Daughter is a sweet and heartwarming coming of age story that I really enjoyed!

The narrator was very good, but I selected 4 stars because I would like to have heard younger sounding voices for the young characters in this tale. With that said, I still think Davina Porter is an excellent narrator.
