Query: Alchemy leads to love not gold

The Alchemist's Daughter has a different type of heroine, someone who is very intellectual, albeit strange. The whole story rings of "Masterpiece Theatre" and it was beautifully written. I finished the book in one day because it had a driving force to it. The only thing that slowed me down is the scientific terms, which are a mouthful. The story could also have used a slant toward mystery, since it touches on alchemy but it is more on love. The ending is a bit abrupt although the reader can tell what it would lead to. I just prefer an ending that flows into a smooth finish.
