The Sisters of Sea View by Julie Klassen

The Sister of Sea View by Julie Klassen is the first in her new series On Devonshire Shores. This marvelous story has us traveling to Sidmouth to meet the Summer sisters on the Devonshire Coast. Due to their circumstances they must consider letting out the rooms in their home to seaside visitors.

There were fantastic details of the Regency period in the story making this such a wonderful read. I was transported to the coast of Devonshire where I enjoyed learning about sea-bathing, surgeries, and lace making of the time. I felt very engaged in the story as the author did an incredible job developing each sister and secondary character. I was delighted by the secondary characters and it was lovely to meet them. I felt fully immersed in the story.

This beautifully written story shares with us themes of family, faithfulness, and the transformative power of love. The details of the time period will thrill any Regency fan, and this wonderfully crafted story makes The Sisters of the Sea a joy to read. I very highly recommend and look forward to book number two. For reference I would consider this women’s fiction with some romance.
I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
