"e;Stunning . . . elegant . . . arresting . . . supple and harrowing.- The Wall Street JournalAn innovative, entrancing account of a popular figure that will appeal to fans of verse, history, and biography. - Kirkus, starred reviewIn poems that surprise and move readers, bestselling author David Elliott explores how Joan of Arc changed the course of history and remains a figure of fascination centuries after her extraordinary life and death.Told through medieval poetic forms and in the voices of the people and objects in Joan of Arcslife, (including her family and even the trees, clothes, cows, and candles of her childhood), Voices offers an unforgettable perspective on an extraordinary young woman. Along the way it explores timely issues such as gender, misogyny, and the peril of speaking truth to power. Before Joan of Arc became a saint, she was a girl inspired. It is that girl we come to know in Voices.
