The Alchemist's Daughter {2006} - Katherine McMahon
"Motherless, beautiful and fiercely intelligent, Emilie Selden is raised in seclusion by her father, who aims to turn into a brilliant alchemist and natural philosopher. But her upbringing gives her little insight into the the mysteries of the human heart.
During the sultry summer of 1725, their most daring experiment yet is disrupted by the arrival of two fascinating strangers, and Emilie, caught up in the passion of first love, makes a fateful choice.
Her father's spell broken, she is banished to London. There, marooned by circumstances as well as by her extraordiany education, she discovers she has much to learn - about the darker recesses of human nature, and her own family's complicated past."
