## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very satisfying first novel out of the heart and mind of a gifted writer.
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2016*

Reading "Mountains of Manhattan", with its connections to Munich, Germany, Radio Free Europe, and the beautiful Swiss Alps, was like taking a step back in time to the years between 1984 and 1995 when my husband and our two sons and I lived in Munich, Germany when my husband was Director of Operations for Radio Free Europe.  Our lives even intersected briefly with Jenny Lind Schmitt and her husband when they first came to Munich as newlyweds.  "Mountains of Manhattan" focuses on the lives of two very different women who meet in New York City in the 1950's.  One, a young American with emotional ties to Munich, Germany, who worked at the New York office of the fledgling Radio Free Europe; the other, an older woman who as a teenager, made the emotionally difficult decision to leave her beautiful village in the Swiss Alps behind at a very vulnerable time in her life.  The book is refreshingly honest, written with a Christian world view, with real people who aren't perfect, who struggled with matters of moral conscience, and yet both were able to learn and to grow, from their own mistakes, as well as from random events over which they had little control.  Besides being a very satisfying "people" story, "Mountains of Manhattan" also provides interesting historical insight into the political events that shaped Post World War II  Europe, as well as an "insiders" experience of the Swiss Alps, certainly one of the most beautiful places in all of God's creation.  I look forward to more novels to come from the mind and heart of Jenny Lind Schmitt.

    Winsome story that I would recommend for teens and adults alike
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2016*

Jenny has an amazing command of the English language (as well as French and German), as exhibited by her ability to use words to describe scenery and convey emotions throughout the book. She transported me from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan to the peaceful tranquility of Swiss mountains.I love the way that she took two women's lives and intertwined them so artfully. I truly was engaged throughout the book and wanted to see how the characters and story developed. This is a story that left things to the imagination that weren't necessary for the plot. I appreciate that she kept the book very wholesome, winsome, and hopeful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I thoroughly enjoyed this book
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016*

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which is set both in 1950s Manhattan and 1920s rural Switzerland.  It weaves together these settings, along with Munich immediately after the war, so skilfully.  This is ultimately a moral tale, though, without being at all didactic or preachy.  All the characters are asked to stretch and accept each other and their circumstances in unexpected and uncomfortable ways, to become who they were meant to be ,rather than just who they want to be.  Well worth reading;  I hope the author writes a sequel!
