Acknowledgements
The debts I’ve incurred in the writing of this book begin with my agent and my editor, without whom I wouldn’t have had the chance to tell Joan’s story. I couldn’t ask for more thoughtful guidance or boundless support than that provided by Patrick Walsh, with the able assistance of Alex Christofi and Carrie Plitt, nor could I hope for a wiser or more insightful editor than Walter Donohue. To him, and to the whole Faber team who have brought the book into being – especially Kate Ward, Donna Payne, Kate Burton, Eleanor Rees, Peter McAdie, Sarah Ereira and András Bereznay – I am immensely grateful.
For their generosity in sharing references, advice and encouragement, I owe huge thanks to Dan Jones, my friend in the fifteenth century as well as the twenty-first; to Rowena Archer, Hannah Skoda and the students taking the ‘Joan of Arc’ Special Subject in Oxford University’s History Faculty, who welcomed me to one of their illuminating seminars; and to Richard Beadle and Jenny Stratford, on whose expertise it is a privilege to call. I have benefited too from discussing Joan with Lucy Swingler, Lucy Parker, Ross Wilson and Jacqui Hayden, brilliant storytellers in another medium. I am sorry that I couldn’t use Arabella Weir’s inspired title for the book, but she has been with me every step of the way, as have Jo Marsh, Katie Brown and Thalia Walters, and I can only hope that they and every one of my friends and family know how much difference they make.
My parents, Gwyneth and Grahame Castor, have been an unfailing source of support of all kinds, practical, emotional and intellectual. Julian Ferraro, my first and most necessary reader, has both held the fort and helped. The book is for Luca, our gorgeous boy, to thank him for his patience, and in the hope that he might like it.
