A fascinating historical novel that tells the story of Giulia Toffana, an apothecary in 17th-century Rome. Considered by many to be history's first serial killer and by others as a vigilante, Giulia dedicated her life to helping young women forced into arranged marriages by creating the lethal Acqua Toffana. Through a gripping plot, Vanessa Montfort explores the role of women, family, and the dangers of institutional violence in an era of persecution. This work, winner of the Primavera Novel Prize, offers memorable characters and a deep reflection on revenge and justice in a masterfully recreated historical context.
