If you liked Ariadne, then this has to be your next read Red MagazineBrilliant . . . Chen [presents] Joan as a beguiling, fully human mix of wariness and confidence, and fiercely protective of those she loves Guardian*Times Best Historical Novels of July 2022 Pick* *The Week Best Novels of 2022 Pick****Girl. Warrior. Heretic. Saint?France is mired in a losing war against England. Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. Yet out of the chaos, an unlikely heroine emerges.Reckless, steel-willed and brilliant, Joan has survived a childhood steeped in both joy and violence to claim an extraordinary - and fragile - position at the head of the French army. The battlefield and the royal court are full of dangers and Joan finds herself under suspicion from all sides - as well as under threat from her own ambition.With unforgettably vivid characters and propulsive storytelling, Joan is a thrilling epic, a triumph of historical fiction, and a feminist celebration of one remarkable - and remarkably real - woman who left an indelible mark on history.PRAISE FOR JOANAn electrifying creative leap - a re-imagining both vivid and compelling. A triumph! Annie Garthwaite, author of CecilyMeasured, austere, profoundly physical. I loved it Jo Baker, author of LongbournRiveting and beautiful. Chen has given us a new Joan for our times, who is tender, magnetic, and courageous. This is a haunting and deeply insightful novel Rebecca Stott, Costa award-winning author of In the Days of RainPacy but lyrical, which takes great skill . . . Joan possesses a mystical, spiritual quality that gleams within the dirt and brutality of war, while her kindness and compassion shine through. I loved the writing, the imagery, the feeling of authenticity: this novel will stay with me for a long time Elizabeth Author Biography Katherine J. Chen is the author of the novel Mary B.
