A BLOG FOR MOMMIES AND ANYONE ELSE WITH LIMITED TIME ON THEIR HANDS LOOKING TO READ AN EXCELLENT ARRAY OF NOVELS, WITHOUT HAVING TO SIFT THROUGH THOUSANDS OF TITLES.
๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ: Joan: A Novel of Joan of Arc, Katherine J. Chen
Let me first begin by stating that this is a SECULAR historical FICTION novel. This book does not purport to be a true account of Joan of ARC. Therefore, because it is not a factual story, I struggled with the negative reviews inferring it was heretical. I found the story unique and engaging. I enjoyed the imaginative twist and appreciated the author's excellent writing. Not once did it make me waiver in my faith or reconsider the accurate details of Joan of Arc's life, because I understand the difference between fact and fiction.
So, although this may be an unpopular opinion, I truly enjoyed this book, as much as I have other fictional novels.
Many thanks to partners, @NetGalley and @randomhouse for this #gifted e-copy.
