The Seaside Homecoming by Julie Klassen

 


The Seaside Homecoming by Julie Klassen is book number three in the Devonshire Shores collection. It can be a stand-alone novel, but it is a part of a series that has been building. Claire Summers has been living in Scotland away from her family. She is the sister that no one mentions and her past is whispered about. When Claire has to leave Scotland, she finds an advertisement for a co-owner of a boarding house in Seaside where her family resides. Will she be able to make amends and find love?

This was a wonderful story I was lost on. The author’s writing is so charming, descriptive and she immerses you in the story. She writes to eloquently that you can feel the sea breeze. It was a pleasure to step into the Regency period at the seashore and learn more about the time period. This was a beautiful redemptive story. I felt so connected to Claire and was rooting for her to have a happily ever after. It was great to visit with the other Summer sisters and catch up with the family. I enjoyed wondering how it would all work out in the end.

It was a delight to lost in the time period, meet and catch-up with engaging characters, and be a part of the Summer family. I highly recommend The Seaside Homecoming by Julie Klassen. This will be a favorite of 2024 for me.

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

I love all things Jane—Jane Eyre and Jane Austen. A graduate of the University of Illinois, I worked in publishing for sixteen years and now write full time. Three of my books, The Silent Governess, The Girl in the Gatehouse, and The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, won the Christy Award for Historical Romance. The Secret of Pembrooke Park won the Minnesota Book Award, and The Silent Governess was a finalist in Romance Writers of America’s RITA awards. I have also been honored with the Midwest Book Award and Christian Retailing’s BEST Award. I enjoy travel, research, BBC period dramas, long hikes, short naps, and coffee with friends. My husband and I have two sons and live near St. Paul, Minnesota.
