On Dec 5 2023, a reader said:
This Passing Hour by Leslie Gould is the second book in the Amish Memories series. It can be read as a standalone. I thought This Passing Hour was well-written with developed characters. I did not like the main characters, Brenna and Rylan. Brenna is a young woman with numerous issues. She certainly showed more patience than I would have with Rylan. Brenna has a great family. They could be a wonderful support system if she would allow them. There are many times when Brenna pushes them away and does not share her true feelings. I did not understand why she moved into an apartment with her sister if she preferred living on the farm. If the farm made her feel safe, Brenna should have spoken up. Rylan is the type of person that I cannot stand to be around. He is manipulative and cruel. He finds himself in a situation of his own making (I believe Rylan feels he does not have to follow rules). I did not understand why his army friends continued to hang around him. I understand turning the other cheek and showing God's grace through actions. However, there is only so much abuse one person can take. I found both characters to be depressing. I did feel there were some inaccuracies in the research regarding the VA and the Reserves. I did find the World War II portion of the story more compelling. POWs were needed to work the farms with the men away fighting the warm. However, it could be dangerous especially for those Americans of German descent or who spoke German. The pacing in This Passing Hour was sluggish. There is a good wrap up at the end of the story. While I admire Leslie Gould's writing skills, I am not a fan of This Passing Hour. I will, though, look forward to reading Leslie Gould's next book.
