    As a part of our homeschool curriculum, we used this book as a companion to the Story of Civilization Vol 2 Chapter 6. We enjoyed the format and used it as a Read-Aloud. Both of my daughters were entertained by the story and enjoyed the writing style. A word of caution, the note on the book says that it's "suitable for ages 10 and up," and I'd agree. There is a murder scene in Chapter 10 that made me wince. There is also a scene, in the same chapter, alluding to a kidnapping and violation (and subsequent pregnancy) of a poor sister. Both scenes are within the context of war- so a brutal, historical reality. Upon finishing the book, my daughters and I had a greater appreciation for St. Genevieve and a better picture of France during that time in history. We enjoyed how the author depicted St. Genevieve with courage, humility, perseverance, spunk, and of course, holiness.
