Book Review of
A Winter By the Sea

Lynn's Review

A Winter By the Sea by Julie Klassen is a Christian romance that was published in 2023.

A Winter By the Sea is book two in the On Devonshire Shores series. It is a historical romance set around 1820, shortly after Queen Victoria was born. 

Emily Summers lives with her mother and sisters at Woolbrook Cottage, where they take guests for extra money. Following the death of their father, they must do what they can do earn money to live. 

When the Duke and Duchess of Kent take a cottage nearby for the winter, they host three of the royal family’s staff. 

This was a light and easy read, just when I needed it. I had a bad flare of my asthma in December and had several nights where I could not sleep. This book made for a great read at three in the morning when I could not focus on much else.
