THE SEASIDE HOMECOMING by JULIE KLASSEN

THE SEASIDE HOMECOMING is the third novel in the On Devonshire Shores series by JULIE KLASSEN. I have been looking forward to this addition to the series and am definitely not disappointed! It is a beautifully written and well researched book, with great characters whose emotions one can literally feel, sweet romance and a strong Christian message of redemption. I particularly like the very apt quotations at the beginning of each chapter, from Jane Austen and other authors of the early nineteenth century.

It is good to come across most of the same characters as before, namely the Summers family, as well as some interesting and mostly delightful new ones, in the same beautiful seaside setting.

When the rigidly religious and seemingly unfeeling Aunt Mercer dies, Claire Summers, who has taken refuge with her aunt in Edinburgh, bravely sets off to Sea View, hoping to at least see her sisters, even if her mother still refuses to reconcile with her after her unforgivable sin.

With some trepidation she answers an advertisement to go into partnership in Broadridges boarding house, hoping that her past is never found out by her business partner, Mr William Hammond………

I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling your read.

I cannot recommend this enjoyable and thought provoking book strongly enough. I am now looking forward to the fourth novel in the series.

I was givena free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
