<strong>Sunset</strong><br/><br/>Mary's book had been vehemently recommended by Susanna, one of the other street doctors.  It was a semi-factual retelling "inspired by the true events of" Joan of Arc.  The story carried a great deal of feminist overtones, some more overt than others, as a kind-hearted peasant girl is given messages by angels, voices that only she hears, and told to go out and slay evil.<br/><br/>Although the voices, which start to seem more like schizophrenia and less like angels as the book goes on, never seem to tell her anything valuable, they give her the courage to keep going even when the various men in her life try to shout her down or claim that such voices must be the work of evil.  Unperturbed, she continues on, her passion growing to fervor as the read continues.
