The Oracle Glass


My passion for poison extends to what I'm reading. "The Oracle Glass", by Judith Merkel Riley, is a book of poison and intrigue in the court of Louis XIV. A young girl becomes swept up in a society of fortune-tellers and purveyors of poison that is loosely based on actual police records of the period.  I was fascinated. I think I may have started collecting old bottles of poison after reading this book.
