An Army of Angels: A Novel of Joan of Arc par Pamela Marcantel
An amazing book about a more amazing woman! The legend sounds so simple, but the real story is very impressive...

rendier | 5 autres critiques | Dec 20, 2020 | What I liked: Oh, Everything!!!! Wowza! I couldn't put it down. I loved the author's writing, her interpretations of Jehanne the Maid's (aka Joan of Arc) Voices, the characters and description, the research that went into it... She took a true story and wove the fiction so expertly that you feel you know Jehanne intimately and you can't believe she is going to be burned at the stake. I wondered how an illiterate peasant could have persuaded the king to give her an army and this book shares a story that is absolutely believable!
The BEST part of the book is it's proclamation and steadfastness of faith in Jesus. Through the character, Jehanne, we see her faith and courage. We see her grow into the person God calls her to be. I did not expect this to be a book that would strengthen my own faith, but it has! It encourages me to have courage and do what God has called me to do. No matter your station or situation in life, you can do great things through God.
What I didn't like: One thing at the end of the book that the author believes might have happened (can't tell you or it'd be a spoiler)-- it is fiction, therefore the author can write what she likes, but I choose not to believe that that particular part happened.… (plus d'informations)

DawnMHamsher | 5 autres critiques | Jan 3, 2014 | A semi-fictional tale of Joan of Arc. Not bad - from telling what happened. But not very good at telling why it happened. It just too the position that the English were wrong and that God had given France to Charles VI and that was that. God decided that Joan should suffer for 2 years before she was killed - but no mention as to why this was ncessary. Just that it was. Disappointing that the author did not choose to take a position, one way or the other.
