I love this series, I love these sisters and their struggles and accomplishments.
This book is about the oldest sister Claire, the sister not discussed. She has been living with an Aunt in Scotland for two years, hiding from her shame and lost reputation. When the Aunt passes away, she has to decide what to do and where to go. She finds a random advertisement to invest in a boarding house where her sisters live. Can it be possible to start over and maybe be forgiven by her family?
These characters are so good, so fun to watch and grow. This story has all the feels: loss, hope, love, redemption and more. I can't wait for the next book!
The Seaside Homecoming was a wonderful addition to Julie Klassen's Seaview series. I wasn't expecting the story to be about Claire and was happily surprised and quite enjoyed learning more about her. I love Julie's chapter openings, with all the quotes from Jane Austen and literature from the time.
I loved seeing how the characters from previous books had changed and matured, and I liked seeing a glimpse more of Sarah as I learned about Claire. Mira and Sonali were such interesting characters, and it added an interesting element to the story. I'm excited to see how this whole series closes! All in all, I enjoyed this read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
The latest installment in Julie Klassen's captivating series delves deep into issues of unresolved shame and guilt. She beautifully depicts Godly grace and mercy through Claire's journey as she travels to be nearer her family she left two years prior in her failed attempt to elope. Though we didn't get to see our quirky cast of characters at Sea View as much as in previous books, "The Seaside Homecoming" introduced readers to a new set of just as loveable characters at the adjacent guest house Claire takes a position at.
The Seaside Homecoming is set against the picturesque Devonshire coast, with vivid descriptions that make the setting come alive. It is a heartwarming and emotional tale of personal growth, love, and the enduring bond of sisterhood, making it a satisfying read for fans of historical romance and family dramas.
