A captivating feminist retelling of Joan of Arc's life, this novel is a must-read for fans of Cecily, Ariadne, and Matrix. It's as if the author has somehow managed to breathe life into a statue, recreating Joan of Arc as a contemporary woman. Hilary Mantel, the acclaimed author of The Mirror & the Light, praises this novel as "glorious, sweeping," and "richly imagined, poignant, and inspiring." Jennifer Saint, the author of Ariadne, describes it as "a hypnotic heroine for our time."
Chen's Joan is a captivating character who emerges from the chaos of France during a war against England. She is a beguiling mix of wariness and confidence, fiercely protective of those she loves. With her vivid, visceral, and boldly immediate storytelling, Chen presents Joan as a riotous tomboy, a hot-headed adolescent, and a decidedly unsaintly soldier. This novel breathes new life into this famous tale, making Joan a more inspiring and relatable heroine.
The battlefield and the royal court are full of dangers, and Joan finds herself under suspicion from all sides. She is also threatened by her own ambition, as she seeks to claim an extraordinary position at the head of the French army. Through unforgettably vivid characters and propulsive storytelling, Jo. Chen brings this historical figure to life in a way that is both captivating and thought-provoking.
This novel is a triumph of historical fiction, offering a fresh perspective on a well-known story. It is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction, women's history, or stories of courage and determination.
