Boxers & Saints: Saints

Boxers & Saints: Saints by Gene Leun Yang, 170 pages.
The second book of this diptych, showing the boxer rebellion, or at least the same scenes witnessed in Boxers, through the eyes of a young Chinese girl, Four-Girl who has converted to Christianity. There is a lot of resentment against the foreigners, their Christian missionaries, and their Chinese converts. When the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fist decides to do battle, Four Girl, now renamed Vibiana decides to follow the path laid down by Joan of Arc, and try to lead her people to victory, or something like that. 
A wonderful series with really excellent art.
