Truely Insightful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a must read for anyone who is interested in the real Joan of Arc. This is quite simply the best book I have read about her. Taken from recorded accounts Vita attempts to depict who Joan truely was without the romantic stories often told of this amazing woman. An important book for anyone wanting to know truth from legend.

Informative and enjoyable biography written with great style
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
A thoroughly enjoyable and informative biography. Vita Sackville-West's voice informs the reader and highlights the facts without interfering with the reader's ability to judge the events discussed on his\her own. The author's style is witty, respectful of her subject, and a pleasure to read.
"best modern biography"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Imagine my surprise...I was looking for the best modern bio of St. Joan & found Sackville-West's book could hardly be improved on. It's brisk, witty, informative, and seems to be asking all the pertinent (or impertinent) questions that still confront us, trying to engage this "puzzle or Pucelle" (Shakespeare)
