Beyond the Myth: The Story of Joan of Arc
By
Polly Schoyer Brooks
|
One of history's most compelling stories and one of the world's most popular heroines-Joan of Arc. Brooks tells us of a fifteenth-century France ravaged by war, plague, and religious conflict; of a king who suffered fits of madness and his weak son who made a disappointing successor; and of a peasant girl from the countryside who accomplished what appeared to be miracles by rallying the dispirited French nation with her desire to see the rightful king rule. This detailed narrative unveils the spirited young woman who became a patron saint and continues to inspire courage and faith.

What We Said
This book was chosen because we rarely choose non-fiction, we didn't know much about Joan of Arc, and we wanted a quick read. If those fit your criteria, this book is a good choice. The book would have generated more discussion and rave reviews if had had a bit more depth and passion.
