The Alchemist's Daughterby Katherine McHanon
Crown Publishers, 2006. 340 pgs. Fiction
Emilie Selden has spent her life working with her father, an alchemist who secludes them both from the world. Emilie is content to follow in her father's footsteps, even though eighteenth century Britain doesn't exactly welcome female contributions to science. When Robert Aislabie appears on their doorstep, seemingly interested in science, Emilie is drawn to him and the bright London life of luxury that he represents. Lured away from her home and her work by the handsome rogue, Emilie soon finds she has much to learn about life and her family.
This is an interesting story for those who want to explore relationships and the workings of the human heart.
