The Maid by Kimberly Cutter

3.0

I Love Historical fiction so I really wanted to LOVE this book. I think the author did an excellent job of retelling a story that everyone already knows without adding anything new or thought provoking. The short chapters and concise wording transport the reader directly into the short lived tragedy of Joan (Jehanne) so it was definitely a quick read. As the author states in her notes, "...the book adheres closely to the established historical facts surrounding Joan of Arc's life" so I would not recommend this to book to a reader that has already read a book or two on the subject.
