About this book
A Heroine of France by Evelyn Everett-Green vividly resurrects Joan of Arc amid the turmoil of the Hundred Years’ War, inviting listeners into a tale of faith, courage, and medieval chivalry. Told with the clear, intimate voice of a contemporary narrator, the historical fiction traces how a simple village maid is first heard of and then seen, tested and befriended—journeying from Vaucouleurs to Chinon, confronting doubts, and stepping into the spotlight at Orléans and before the king. Everett-Green blends meticulous period detail with a warm storytelling tone to explore themes of national identity, religious conviction, youthful leadership, and the clash between tradition and destiny. Listeners will feel the creak of armor, the hush before battle, and the political tensions that defined 15th-century France, all without straying into melodrama or anachronism. Ideal for fans of historical fiction and biographical tales, this audiobook will appeal to anyone intrigued by Joan of Arc, medieval history, or classic coming-of-age narratives—perfect for listeners seeking a spirited, accessible portrait of one of history’s most compelling heroines.
