The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan: A Novel of New Amsterdam
Bill Greer has deftly blended fact and fiction in his humorous tale The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan. The story covers the period between 1624 to 1664 when Peter Stuyvesant ceded [Manhattan] to England in the Articles of Transfer. The characters are rowdy, raunchy, loveable, and sometimes despicable, but thoroughly believable … This is a thoroughly delightful story that brings the Dutch colonies to life. The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan is heartily recommended with or without a tankard of beer, not ale, to accompany it.– Historical Novels Review Online
