«Jour sans retour» is the novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, published by Le Grand Livre du Mois in 2001, in paperback (327 pages, in French).
Set in Germany in the 1930s, the novel follows a young Lutheran pastor who, faced with the rise of Nazism and the persecution of the Jews, must decide between silence or resistance. The story shows how totalitarianism gains ground and confronts the Evangelical Church with the dilemma of resistance or passivity.
Work originally published as «Day of No Return»; the French edition is translated by Laurent Bury and includes an epilogue by Brigitte Krulic.
For readers interested in historical fiction and the Second World War, particularly the role of the Lutheran clergy under the Third Reich.
