The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern by Lynda Cohen Loigman


Can that really be Irving living in the same retirement complex as Augusta?


Irving was Augusta’s first love, but he broke her heart and married another.


Augusta worked in her father‘s pharmacy, and Irving was the delivery boy.


Sixty years later even though they loved each other for that long, they never had contacted each other.


Can they rekindle their love?


We follow Irving and Augusta in two timelines. The 1920s and then the 1980s.


When Augusta knew she wanted to be with Irving after all these years, she decided to try the love elixir she and her aunt made years ago to see if it would work again.


Can she do it?


The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern is a book that will have you missing the heartwarming characters because of Ms. Loigman’s fabulous storytelling skills. 


It is not a romance but a story of decisions made, family, and the regrets of poor communication.


It is another gem you won’t want to miss, and is a “do your heart good”​ read. 5/5


Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.

  1. I find it hard to imagine finding or rekindling a relationship after so long but I think I lack imagination!

  4. Well sounds very good, I remember reading another book with this kind of plot line and it was good. This sounds like fun with the love elixir.
