Publisher's Summary:
Hailed by the New York Times as "a book you will not readily forget", this World War II adventure tale of a nun who risks her life to help a Jewish couple escape Nazi-occupied France is the collaborative creative effort of Grand Master of crime fiction Dorothy Salisbury Davis and award-winning television writer Jerome Ross.
It is harvest season in St. Hilaire, and for those who take their living from the land, it should be a joyous time. But in the fall of 1943, there is no joy in France. Paris has fallen, the Vichy government is collaborating with the Germans, and the Gestapo roam the countryside, conscripting French men to toil in faraway German factories. For Sister Gabrielle, a novice in the local convent, the occupation tries her faith as nothing has before. But she is about to get an opportunity to stand up to evil in a way that few of her countrymen have dared.
Marc and Rachel Daridan arrive in St. Hilaire just a few steps ahead of the secret police and throw themselves on the mercy of Sister Gabrielle and the other nuns at the Convent of Ste. Genevive. In a time when doing right can mean death, this devout young woman takes on a risky, seemingly impossible challenge.

Nun vs Nazis
I don't usually read books set in WWII, and I don't remember where I picked this one up. A short novel, 224 pages, it tells the story of a nun, Sister Gabrielle, who is impelled by compassion to take the place of a sick Jew, Rachel, so she can obtain the medical care she needs. When Rachel dies, Gabrielle continues to take her place until her husband can get over the border to freedom.
Her life in constant danger, Sister Gabrielle's faith is tested as never before. The suspense is high, and the reader is never sure how the book will turn out until the last page. A strange and memorable character study.
The language is concise and beautiful. My favorite genre is WWII homefront and Ms
I read a lot of DSD in the 70's. This book is riveting. The characters are fully drawn. The language is concise and beautiful. My favorite genre is WWII homefront and Ms. Davis is superb. I still wonder where Maman went?
Four Stars
Excellent example of WWII fiction written by someone who experienced the angst of those times.
Not very interesting, slow moving
Had to make myself finish the book. The lack of character development had me not really caring what happened to any of the characters. I just wanted the book to end. And this was a book that involved many of the subjects/time periods that I find most interesting to read and learn more about, so I was very disappointed.
suspenseful Vichy cat-and-mouse game
I've been reading Dorothy Salisbury Davis' novels, and I'm struck by how different they are from one another.The Judas Catreminds me of a grown-up version of a Penny Parker mystery;A Death in the Life (The Julie Hayes Mysteries, 1)resembles an old-fashioned cozy;Scarlet Night (The Julie Hayes Mysteries, 2)is a heist tale the equal ofOcean's Eleven (2001), whileLullaby Of Murderseems like something penned by Sidney Sheldon.
With "God Speed the Night," Davis, in collaboration with Jerome Ross, veers in yet another direction: a World War II French Resistance novel. Sister Gabrielle, a novice at the Convent of Sainte Geneviève in St.
