Über diesen Titel
Girl. Warrior. Heretic. Saint?
France is mired in a losing war against England. Its people are starving. Its king is in hiding. And out of the chaos, an unlikely heroine is emerging.
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 alike, 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, as well as a feminist celebration of one remarkable - and remarkably real - woman who left an indelible mark on history.

When you look up the term 'historical fiction' in the dictionary it should say, simply, Read Katherine J. Chen (Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Kaiser’s Web)
Chen earns the comparison [to Mantel] thanks to her vivid, visceral and boldly immediate storytelling... But it's Joan herself who constantly bounds off the page, a proto-feminist genius born into the wrong age. Thanks to Chen's efforts, she is now a hypnotic heroine for our time
Katherine J Chen's Joan is a scrappy, determined and very real heroine who simply roars off the page. If you liked Ariadne, then this has to be your next read . (Sarra Manning)
Inspired, lyrical . . . makes clear why Joan is still venerated
A vivid and very real slice of historical fiction
Anfangs etwas langatmig (nicht groß störend, aber muss man in der Stimmung für sein), zweite Hälfte deutlich spannender. Gegen Ende erwartbar traurig und etwas bitter, aber nicht "unrealistisch", dabei immer berührend und mit wunderbar märchenhaftem, aber nicht zu distanziertem Erzählstil.
