Soon to be a film by Baz Luhrmann and Ava Pickett

Before she was a legend, she was a girl.

The story of Joan of Arc has always held a special fascination for writers – among them Voltaire, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw and Jean Anouilh. Transforming the legend, Thomas Keneally presents Jehanne as never before: a tough radical, an instinctive soldier, a doubtful prophet and a remarkable, vulnerable girl.

Set against the raging Hundred Years’ War, this is an extraordinary tale of girlhood, madness, treachery and faith, its haunting and compelling heroine framed by the tumultuous times in which she lived. For readers of Circe, Hamnet and Lapvona.

‘A St. Joan book to remember . . . the familiar tragedy flames up with new and terrible effects in the retelling’
SUNDAY TIMES

‘Saint Joan lives again, in a way we have not known her before . . . Startling and, at the same time, amazingly plausible’
NEW YORK TIMES

The life, visions, and military campaigns of Joan of Arc leading up to the crowning of the Dauphin. Core themes of the book include: Divine intervention versus perceived madness, the grim realities of the Hundred Years' War, and the heavy burdens of leadership.
