Nighttime Passes, Morning Comes: An Emotional Family Drama set during World War II (The Days of War Series) Paperback – April 11, 2023

Did not dislike anything. I have enjoyed everything about the book.

I enjoyed the first two books of this series - but was disappointed that the third book of the series is only in Kindle. Next time I will check the whole series before I buy any.

Not deeply written and perhaps too predictable. Does nicely capture ‘home front living’ during WW2. It becomes obvious that the read is the first in a series ( ?). And yes there is a second that continues the stories. It is good for a easy read if that is what you want.

If you've forgotten the first book, don't worry because about one-third of book 2 is written as flashbacks to book one. While some reminders are fine, even necessary at times, less would be better in this case.Another portion is repetitive angst. (Specifically, Abby angst.)Repeated reminders of prejudice which, while more prevalent then than now (or just a bit less open), it got tiring...for me at least.And the rest? A lot of it is pretty predictable.It's not a horrible book but, less rehashing, more new content and maybe a bit more realistic descriptions of the sacrifice of basic needs would've been better. For instance a bakery, located in a less-than-prosperous area, has an endless supply of flour and sugar...I don't think so. I don't know, maybe having parents who lived through WWII makes me a bit more aware of what people went through.Finally, one thing I always say/think when I read reviews that are a "bit" nitpicky... the book is a fictional account of a non-fictional time/event in history. Author's choice is just that...their choice.

Jonathan Cullen is an amazing writer. He brings the caricatures to life. Although it is a war story it brings the war home. One could almost imagine living in that time. I can't wait for the next book! I hope it's not the last because I don't want the story to end.

A continuation of the lives of families in Boston during World War 2. It's an insight into the everyday lives of families on the homefront.

Praise to Jonathan Cullen for writing such an important book. Not only do the characters come alive, but important history is told. I have been captivated by the first two in the series and I can't wait to read the third book.

This time Cullen lets us know how it felt to suddenly have money and nothing to spend it on. Living in Eastie, Southie, the North End or a dozen other communities where everyone had a relative with an accent, people begin to realize that everyone feels the same pain when they hurt be they Italian, Jewish German, rich,poor,gay, or straight (but not Japanese). Beyond the lesson its fun watching George, Abby and Thomas grow out of adolescence. As an afterthought, Mr. Cullen, did you ever really know a kid who liked Moxie?
