On Sunday, August 12, we will meet in the community room following the 11:00am mass to discuss  “Joan of Arc: A Life Transfigured” by Kathryn Harrison.  Below is a short description of the book:
 
Every era must retell and reimagine the Maid of Orleans's extraordinary story in its own way, and in  Joan of Arc: A Life Transfigured, the superb novelist and memoirist Kathryn Harrison gives us a Joan for our time—a shining exemplar of unshakable faith, extraordinary courage, and self-confidence during a brutally rigged ecclesiastical inquisition and in the face of her death by burning. Deftly weaving historical fact, myth, folklore, artistic representations, and centuries of scholarly and critical interpretation into a compelling narrative, she restores Joan of Arc to her rightful position as one of the greatest heroines in all of human history.
