The Maid: A Novel of Joan of Arc"Was she a saint or a witch? A visionary or a madwoman? Or an extraordinary peasant girl who, at God's bidding, led an army, saved France, and paid the price by burning alive? . . . Kimberly Cutter's portrait of 'Jehanne' as a strange, gritty teenage tomboy and true believer is compelling." USA Today It is the fifteenth century, and the tumultuous Hundred Years' War rages on.

"Was she a saint or a witch? A visionary or a madwoman? Or an extraordinary peasant girl who, at God's bidding, led an army, saved France, and paid the price by burning alive? . . . Kimberly Cutter's portrait of 'Jehanne' as a strange, gritty teenage tomboy and true believer is compelling." --USA Today

It is the fifteenth century, and the tumultuous Hundred Years' War rages on. France is under siege, English soldiers tear through the countryside destroying all who cross their paths, and Charles VII, the uncrowned king, has neither the strength nor the will to rally his army. And in the quiet of her parents' garden in Domr my, a peasant girl sees a spangle of light and hears a powerful voice speak her name: Jehanne.

The story of Jehanne d'Arc, the visionary and saint who believed she had been chosen by God, who led an army and saved her country, has captivated our imaginations for centuries. But the story of Jehanne--the girl whose sister was murdered by the English, who sought an escape from a violent father and a forced marriage, who taught herself to ride and to fight, and who somehow found the courage and tenacity to persuade first one, then two, then thousands to follow her--is at once thrilling, unexpected, and heartbreaking. Rich with unspoken love and battlefield valor, The Maid is a novel about the power and uncertainty of faith and the exhilarating and devastating consequences of fame.

"Impressive . . . Cutter evokes the novel's medieval world with striking details." --New York Times Book Review

"Joan of Arc, the teenage peasant girl who commanded a French army, was burned at the stake, and eventually declared a saint, exists in our collective imagination as more myth than human being . . . Cutter strips away the romanticism in favor of a more complex portrayal that raises some provocative questions." --O Magazine

Excellant value
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 14, Color: Rinse, Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 14, Color: Rinse
Purchased the “cropped” length. I am 5ft 3.5 inch. Weight 170lbs (42 inch hip/38 inch waist) normally wear a size 10/12 or 31 in jeans, depending on the brand. I ordered up at 14 for these based on other reviewers. (When held up to other jeans they were the same as a Talbots 10 at the waist) Prewash they felt good, a little big& length hit at the top of my foot. After wash and dry, the fit was almost perfect and the length was at lower ankle. Ordering up is probably the right choice, although I think I could have been comfortable in a 12 (with no drying). They are a tad bit too long for a “cropped” look IMO. The wide leg is a true wide leg and falls straight from the waist. The material is heavy and there is almost no give/stretch - so a traditional denim. This is the dark blue and it is a true dark blue. You can’t beat the price, excellent value.

Cropped ones are better, size issue with full length pants
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 18, Color: Authentic Medium Wash
These are very small in the waist and about 8 inches too long (and I'm not even that short). Very well constructed though so I'll keep them on hand as I'm on a weight loss journey. These were an 18 and fit more like a larger 14. The cropped ones are AWESOME. I ordered a second pair in a different color. They fit absolutely perfectly and hit me around the ankle length wise. Adore them.

GET THESE JEANS!!
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash, Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
I ordered these jeans because they were recommended by a youtube influencer and I have 0 regrets! They are a fairly heavy denim with just the right amount of stretch to them. I'd consider them to be mid to high waisted since the closure is right below my belly button. However, if I hike them up a bit they sit right above the belly button. I washed and dried them with little to no shrinkage. Length-wise they're slightly cropped on me, and fall right above the ankle. These jeans are honestly SO versatile because they look great with ballet flats, heels, tennis shoes, AND suede or leather ankle boots! Since I couldn't decide, I ordered them in two colors (iced blue light wash & medium blue vintage), and I love them both!! For reference, I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs. I ordered size 12 and they fit great. Highly recommend. You CANNOT beat the price for this level of quality in my opinion!!

My everyday Jean
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 8, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
They don’t have much of a stretch to them but they do get a bit more lose around the waist when you wearing often. Got a size 8 was tight but after a few uses they got perfect. Be Definitely is a thick jean material tucks in any unwanted over hang. Don’t tumble dry they do shrink

Good Jean for the price waist hips run small
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 18, Color: Black
These pants are good for the price. I needed a pair of wide leg black jeans and the price on these was good. Reviews said the waist was small. I’m a 16/18. Got an 18. And the high waist (up to my belly button) fits snug but has a little give. Still comfortable to wear. The butt thigh area fits snugger than most wide leg pants but again not so tight or uncomfortable to not wear. The fabric is a brushed Jean fabric not just a woven cotton Jean so dog hair sticks to it like glue. They are a heavy quality fabric so not a summer pant. They are a keeper for me. If a gain a few pounds I can these being a no go.
