Regarded by many as the most luminous example of Twain's work, this historical novel chronicles the French heroine's life, as purportedly told by her longtime friend--Sieur Louis de Conte. A panorama of stirring scenes recount Joan's childhood in Domremy, the story of her voices, the fight for Orleans, the splendid march to Rheims, and much more. An amazing record that disclosed Twain's unrestrained admiration for Joan's nobility of character, the book is matchless in its workmanship--one of Twain's lesser-known novels that will charm and delightfully surprise his admirers and devotees.

Captivating storytelling. I was weeping at the end. She was an absolute inspiration and we haven’t seen the like since.

Life changing!!

This book was first given to me to read during a particularly difficult time in my life. It gave me Faith and strength to get through my troubles. although I thought all the story to be capturing and amazing and told well my favorite parts were the little stories or comments that would make you laugh. Like a sheep wondering how it came to eat a wolf or the uncle riding the bull knocking down the beehive and wrecking a funeral. But truly an amazing story as told by this man's recollections and it makes me desire to learn much more of her history and to visit France and see these places where she lived and fought.

Faith to the faithless

This audiobook drew me in from the very first minutes. I knew little of Joan of Arc and in the last chapters, I shed tears. Wonderful storytelling.

Mark Twain told the story beautifully

I don’t know how anyone can read this book and walk away unchanged. I’ve honored Joan of Arc all my life yet this book did not come to my attention until I was told it was sourced. By sourced I mean (as with much great literature) the writers mind is held in thrall to an invisible force. Not to mention Twains 12 years of influencing research. The book is extremely detailed, personal, and overflowing w reverence and heart.

Sublime

This is one of the very best books I have read/ heard! The interview format makes is intriguing and the content is wonderful! And Mr. Field does well with the French language pronunciation. I would highly recommend this to all fans of St. Joan of Arc and Mr. Twain!

The BEST!

I loved the narration. I saw in the reviews there was some comments about that. His character voices were fine. The story is so compelling and well written (Mark Twain, duh) that the narration is secondary. I wept. It was inspiring.

Wonderful story of selfless love and bravery.

I can not even emphasize how much I enjoyed this book! The narration was perfectly performed. So much so I will seek out other books narrated by him. The writing was excellent, funny, touching and from my understanding quite historically accurate. If I could give this book 20 stars I would do so. It truly is in a class of it's own. If you don't consider yourself a big Mark Twain fan this book is still for you. I didn't really consider myself a Mark Twain reader, I mean he was fine but I wasn't seeking out his books. However, this book was so much better than I thought it would be. I am sad it's over. I want more.

Exceptional all the way around!

I literally could not stop listening to this. The story you know the ending to from the beginning, but somehow have hope for her from her dismal end. The story's performance is captivating, I was there right along with her clerks... Definate re-read....(Listen)...

AMAZING!!
