This was a decent telling of the young life of Joan of Arc. Her childhood and bond with her family were fully described. The author also described fully the appearance of the angels that guided Joan on her journey to save France. The story was very thorough, but dragged on a bit. The fastest movement in the story was during the epilogue.

This really has nothing to do with the book; more with reviews of this book. A few salient points:

1. There is no such thing as "fictional biography." That is called historical fiction.

2. There is no such thing as a fictional memoir, especially of a historic figure who didn't write it. That is also called historical fiction.

3. While we're on the topic, there is no such thing as a fictional novel. It is simply a novel, or fiction.

To sum up, nonfiction ≠ fiction. Are we clear?

Could have been so, so much better. It made Emily Dickinson seem to be suffering from a mixture of bi-polar disorder and multiple personality disorder!
The author could certainly have taken a lesson in how to portray a sensitive, imaginative girl on the brink of womanhood from such classics as "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn".
Wherever this book wasn't dull, it was a misery to read.
