Description
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. Here Thomas Keneally transforms the legend, presenting a Joan who is at once a tough radical, an instinctive soldier, a nagging prophet and a touchingly vulnerable girl - a haunting and compelling heroine framed by the tumultuous times in which she lived.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Blood Red, Sister Rose has been praised for its vivid historical detail and powerful storytelling. The Times calls Keneally a 'great storyteller,' while the Sunday Times highlights the fresh intensity of the familiar tragedy. The Financial Times commends the novel's rich depiction of a time filled with hypocrisy and madness, and the Guardian finds the portrayal both fictionally and spiritually fulfilling. The Sunday Telegraph notes the excitement and authority in Keneally's tense, sinewy prose.
