AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Amidst the 100 years’ war, Joan and her family were loyal to France and Catholicism. Because of voices she heard, she was motivated to approach Charles and convince him to let her lead a company of soldiers. Eventually she was captured and burned alive.
As such an iconic figure, I knew general information about Joan, but I learned a lot of details for this deceptively small book. Even so, the details were hard to put into context because there was a lot of background knowledge still needed.
