When Mevrouw Jackie Lambert opens her New Amsterdam tavern in 1626, she jumps aboard a madcap ride through New York history. With a razor-sharp tongue and the tastiest beer on either side of the Atlantic, Jackie spurs the tiny Manhattan settlement toward a head-on collision with the tyrannical Dutchmen who rule it. Poison, blackmail, murder, all are fair game as she fends off threats to the family she yearned for growing up as an orphan. And when pegleg Peter Stuyvesant would rather destroy the town than surrender his honor, Jackie must take history into her own hands or lose everything she has spent a lifetime building. "A very authentic ring ... like etchings of Everybodies by van Eyck." - Charles Wendell, Ph.D., President of the New Netherland Institute.… (mais)

A good book for bringing history to life. It presents a good picture of raucous free-spirited New Amsterdam while also staying close to the history. The characters were believable and the writing good although early on I sometimes had trouble following the action scenes. ( )

A hilarious look at the forty years the Dutch ruled Manhattan – a biting satire yet wonderfully authentic in how it portrays Dutch culture, historical events and real people. The mevrouw – that’s a Dutch housewife – doesn’t hold her tongue for anything, whether she’s talking about greedy merchants, preachers, drunks, Indians, adulterers, Englishmen or her own child for that matter. You will never again see Peter Stuyvesant in the same light. ( )

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
 
A “romp through the history of New Netherland that would surely have Petrus Stuyvesant complaining about the riot transpiring between its pages … Readers are guaranteed a genuine adventure that will evoke the full range of human emotions. Once begun, they can expect to experience that rare difficulty in putting down a book before they have finished.”
