Why Joan? is a historical fiction novel written by Eleanor Mercein Kelly. The book is set in 15th century France and follows the life of Joan of Arc, a young peasant girl who hears the voice of God and is convinced to lead the French army against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The story is told from Joan's perspective, as she navigates the challenges of being a female leader in a male-dominated society, and struggles to gain the trust and support of the French military and nobility. The novel explores Joan's motivations, her relationship with God, and the political and religious forces at play during her time.As Joan's military campaigns become increasingly successful, she becomes a symbol of hope and inspiration for the French people. However, her victories also attract the attention of her enemies, and she is eventually captured by the English and put on trial for heresy.Why Joan? is a gripping and emotional account of one of history's most fascinating and enigmatic figures. The novel offers a unique perspective on Joan of Arc's life and legacy, and is sure to captivate readers interested in history, religion, and women's leadership.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
