Joan: A novel of Joan of Arc

After a hundred years of war, with France on the brink of destruction...Saint Margaret of Antioch is returned to the earth to aid Joan of Arc in the liberation of her homeland, but what can she do when Heaven itself seems to be conspiring to send Joan to the Fire?"An intimate meditation, textured and ingenious...we see Joan as part of something endless - and troubling, yes - but also exuberant and, finally, mysteriously, larger than one life and most certainly larger than one death."-- Tim Wynne-Jones, author of Blink & Caution,winner of the 2011 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award
