"Joan of Arc" by Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower is a recounting of the life of Joan of Arc, focusing on her pivotal role in French history during a period of significant turmoil. The book sets the scene in 1420s France, a nation teetering on the edge of ruin under English rule, and introduces Joan as a virtuous peasant girl from Domrémy. It traces the origins of her mystical experiences and visions, which ultimately inspire her to undertake a divine mission: to ensure the coronation of Charles VII and liberate France from foreign domination. The narrative brings to life Joan's compassionate nature and unwavering dedication to her people, as it also hints at the huge obstacles she will meet while pursuing her objective.
