Summary

When their father's death leaves them impoverished, Sarah Summers convinces her sisters to open their seaside home to guests to provide for their ailing mother. Emily and Georgiana agree, but Viola, who wears a veil to cover a scar, detests the idea.
Determined to stay together, the sisters begin the new venture. Instead of the elderly invalids they expect, however, they find themselves hosting eligible gentlemen. Sarah is torn between a growing attraction to a mysterious Scottish widower and duty to her family. Meanwhile, the new situation exposes Viola's scars--both the visible and those hidden deep within--and her cloistered heart will never be the same.

Evaluation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A beautiful springtime seaside novel, The Sisters of Sea View is very much a novel about its characters. Because it's a slower read, I love how Julie is able to  elaborate on their way of life, on their personalities, and the setting where they make their home. It was a joy to read and I look forward to reading the rest of the series and to get to know new characters and further the “relationships” with the older cast. If you enjoy thicker books, leisurely reads, regency romance, sisterly bonds, guest houses, a variety of dashing gentlemen, history, then I recommend The Sisters of Sea View. Enjoy!
