About this listen

Come on a whirlwind ride across time and place with one of the most recognizable figures of Western history - Joan of Arc.

We all know of her, but few know the details of her life. Travel back in time, through the words of the maid, in a series of imaginary interviews conducted by the author.

Join her on her journey from shepherdess to warrior woman, to her rise to sainthood. Enjoy Joan’s own words, recorded through two arduous trials. Listen to her own descriptions of the many battles and political maneuvers she lived through and starred in.

Admire her courage and stoicism when wounded, her compassion for the enemy, her battle strategies and her horsemanship. Under the duress of imprisonment and trial, she still maintained her sense of humor, to the point of making her accusers and judges laugh-out-loud.

Five hundred years later, the Catholic Church who condemned her as a heretic, made her a Saint.

Come with Joan the Maid. Ride the wind. Choose the fire.

I loved the concept of interviewing Joan of Arc, this was done so well that I truly believed that the interviewer was indeed talking to Joan. I can't say I knew a great deal about Joan of Arc, I remember seeing one movie many years ago but that is my extent of knowledge. she was indeed a brave young girl and though I don't believe, I felt her belief in the voices and her Lord.
She wasn't treated at all well by many on the French side but the treatment by the English was abhorrent and I struggled to hear her story when we got to when she was captured. A brave and Nobel young girl who didn't deserve the end she got. The narrator was great and captured both voices really well.
