Resume:
b>Girl. Warrior. Heretic. Saint? A stunning secular reimagining of the epic life of Joan of Arc, in the bold tradition of Hilary Mantel''s Wolf Hall/b>br>br>1412. France is mired in a losing war against England. Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. From this chaos emerges a teenage girl who will turn the tide of battle and lead the French to victory, an unlikely hero whose name will echo across the centuries. br>br>In Katherine J. Chen''s hands, the myth and legend of Joan of Arc is transformed into a flesh-and-blood young woman: reckless, steel-willed, and brilliant. This deeply researched novel is a sweeping narrative of her life, from a childhood steeped in both joy and violence to her meteoric rise to fame at the head of the French army, where she navigates both the dangers of the battlefield and the equally treacherous politics of the royal court. Many are threatened by a woman who leads, and Joan draws wrath and suspicion from all corners, even as her first taste of fame, wealth, and glory leave her vulnerable to her own powerful ambition. br>br>With unforgettably vivid characters, transporting settings, and action-packed storytelling, Joan is a triumph of historical fiction, as well as a feminist celebration of one remarkable--and remarkably real--woman who changed history forever.
