Blood Red, Sister Rose (1974) is a novel by Australian writer Thomas Keneally.

[1] The novel explores the imagined psychology of Joan of Arc, and tells her story from Domrémy to the coronation of Charles VII of France in Rheims.

Significant secondary characters include Charles and Gilles de Rais.

Again Keneally examines the predicament of the wise fools of this world, the forthright blunderers who, unlike the Establishment, take account of the realities of human suffering and cosmic bewilderment.

"[2] Veronica Brady, in her essay reviewing a number of Keneally novels noted that the author's Joan is "an Australian version of the French heroine, and her predicament reflects a tension central to a culture in which relationships to history on the one hand and to the environment on the other remain ambivalent.
