Kate Reading's narration of The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter is a captivating mix of humor, charm, and endearing pain.
Theodora Goss is the daughter of a famous alchemist and has just inherited a house in England. She was warned not to sell the house, but she did anyway and finds out too late that she should have listened to her father.
Theodora Goss is a young woman living in Paris. Her father is an infamous alchemist who has been capturing relics of a long-vanished civilization for years, but the group of werewolves he's captured have escaped and are now hunting her. She must get medicine from a witch doctor in the forests outside of Paris to save herself from becoming one of them, but there's only one way she can do it: by returning to the place where everything began.
On the surface, this is a story of two people who were born into opposing worlds but find themselves falling in love. However, there are deeper layers to this story of magic and sorcery. Theodora Goss has written a fantasy novel that tells the tale of two sisters who want to be alchemists in a world filled with powerful elemental forces - fire, water, air and earth.
Theodora does everything she can to please her father, who lives a life of luxury and power. When she comes up with a plan that could possibly get him to approve of her, she must first go against all that she has been taught and learn to trust in herself.
