About the author
Sarah Penner is an American novelist whose books combine historical research with mysteries shaped by women’s knowledge, hidden records, and practices dismissed or feared by formal authority.
The Lost Apothecary, The London Séance Society, and The Amalfi Curse move between historical settings, present-day inquiry, and women whose expertise is preserved outside official institutions.
Where to start
Start with The Amalfi Curse for an Italian coastal mystery involving shipwreck research and folk magic, or The Lost Apothecary for Penner’s debut dual-timeline novel.
