Julie Klassen is a fiction editor and novelist who has worked in Christian publishing for many years. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois and has a background in advertising. Julie and her husband have two sons and live in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.

In this regency romance, Lillian must run her father's apothecary when he falls ill. While she vies for village prominence, three men vie for her heart.

Klassen, Julie

Eden Customer

Julie Klassen follows up her promising debut, The Lady of Milkweed Manor, with a second piece of quality writing. The historical detail of the apothecary shop and their art is fascinating and vividly brought to life. The chapter headings are quotes from the time and really bring this novel to life. As far as I am concerned Julie Klassen can do no wrong. Read The Apothecary's Daughter and you will not be disappointed.

Classic historical fiction from Klassen

The Good Book Stall

Julie Klassen has written a heart-warming tale of a young girl in a Wiltshire village, whose father is the apothecary, her mother has gone away no-one knows where, and whose younger brother Charlie is backward and needing care. Lilly helps her father in his shop and with her excellent memory is nearly as skilled as he is, but she is a woman so should not practice her craft, only make up prescriptions as required by others. Unexpectedly her Mother’s brother and his wife pay a visit hoping to adopt Charlie as Uncle Elliot’s heir. They quickly realise this cannot happen but are very taken with Lily and invite her to their London home where they treat her like a daughter.  
Romance soon enters into the plot, which weaves it’s way back to the village where some of the London characters re-appear and the story gets more and more complicated before the final happy ending. Julie Klassen is to be congratulated, as her research in the UK has resulted in a historical tale both believable and factually satisfying.
