I Wait in the Night: The Death Row Journal of Jacques Fesch. Translation and commentary by Fr Rupert Allen (Our Sunday Visitor, 2025)
Out of the blue, some months ago, a woman living near Archbishop’s House in Southwark contacted me about Jacques Fesch. She knew I had mentioned him in homilies and was herself fascinated by his story. It seems that everyone who encounters Jacques shares this sense of captivation. This is true, not least, of Fr Rupert Allen, Cong. Orat., who has gifted the English-speaking world with a translation and commentary of Jacques’s Death Row Journal.
