À propos de cet audio
A SURPRISE HOMECOMING TESTS THE BONDS OF SISTERHOOD AS A HIDDEN PAST COMES TO LIGHT. …
Disgraced eldest sister Claire Summers has been living in exile as companion to a stern great-aunt in Scotland. About to lose her place and longing to be reconciled with her estranged family, Claire sees an advertisement from someone looking for a “respectable female partner” in a Sidmouth boarding house. Is it a sign? She answers the ad, hoping she has not made another reckless mistake. When she meets the handsome, secretive proprietor, she wonders what he’s hiding and if he’s any more trustworthy than the nobleman who betrayed her years ago. Claire is drawn to him even though she fears he will reject her when he discovers her genteel façade hides a less-than-respectable past.
Meanwhile, the Summers family learns their great-aunt has died and Claire has disappeared without a word. The sisters rally together to find their lost sibling, but will their unexpected reunion heal old wounds and rekindle their bonds … or deepen the divide?
Return to the captivating Devonshire coast as the Summers sisters navigate romance, second chances, and the enduring strength of sisterhood in the face of adversity.

I want my credit back.
I had high hopes for The Seaside Homecoming, even though the second book in the series didn’t impress me much. Unfortunately, this book fell short of expectations. As a longtime fan of Julie Klassen, I anticipated a compelling story and well-developed characters, but by the final chapter, I found myself disappointed and fatigued from waiting for something to happen.
The plot is slow, and while some readers may enjoy the gentle pace and reflective tone, (which I also do) I found it lacked the tension or excitement needed to keep me engaged. Too many secondary characters diluted the focus on the main storyline, making even Claire, whom we’ve waited years to learn about, feel flat and unremarkable. With so many characters, the story meandered, and it often felt like the protagonists were lost in the shuffle.
Another unexpected letdown was the writing itself. Klassen is typically known for her polished prose, but here, some sentences felt awkwardly constructed or ended in strange ways.
The narration added to my frustration. While the narrator’s voice was pleasant, her range for characters is limited, resulting in many voices sounding the same. On more than one occasion, the narrator even used the wrong voice for a character, such as a male tone for Claire, which pulled me out of the story.
I do enjoy slow-paced, gentle stories with a focus on quiet moments, but something was missing. The story lacked the intrigue and emotional depth I’ve come to expect from Julie Klassen. It’s a rare miss from an author I admire, and I can only hope her next work will recapture the magic.
