For as long as she can remember, Carmela Tofana has wanted to be
part of La Tofana’s, her mother’s apothecary in Rome. Now 16, Carmela is
finally allowed. Here she witnesses her mother and two assistants craft
remedies for customers. But for every sweet-smelling flower extract potion, there’s
another requiring darker ingredients.
This is a story of deadly secret hiding in plain sight and the
women who risk everything to provide care for those with nowhere else to turn.
