Moon Over Tokyo

Editorial Reviews

"Moon Over Tokyo is the first book by Siri Mitchell I've read... What truly drew me into the book was a its timelessness. Siri describes real people living real lives - lives that don't necessarily have exciting things happening to them on a daily basis, lives filled with real fears, uncertainties and struggles - and reveals how truly magical those lives can be.”
TitleTrak.com

"Siri Mitchell excels in bringing different cultures alive in her novels hand in hand with wonderful characterization. Moon Over Tokyo is delightful, brimming with the beauty and contrasts that make Tokyo both fascinating and frustrating for visitors. Allie and Gina's relationship is fun and though provoking as Allie, a believer, is bound be her fears and Gina, a "heathen" Aussie confidently takes on the world. Eric adds a whole new dimension to Allie's world and yet she refuses to grasp the gift of friendship and love she has before her. I appreciated so much that Allie continued to struggle with her fears of a relationship even when love was exposed - her genuine hesitation was as real as it gets and make this novel stand out from many a traditional romance.

The Cubicle Next Door

Editorial Reviews

The Cubicle Next Door is a delightful read about life, what makes a person, and what makes a person change into someone they didn’t expect. Siri Mitchell puts the reader right into the heart of the scene with vivid detail and description but doesn’t lose the story.”

The Cubicle Next Door is a wonderful read, full of honest emotions, flawed characters and fantastic writing. I am now an absolute Siri Mitchell fan and I can guarantee that whatever she writes, I’ll be waiting to read.”
Book Talk News

Cubicle is an enchanting tale and the characterization is flawless. Jackie’s hang–up about straw usage is hilarious. Joe’s dimpled charm makes him endearing. The setting grabbed me. I experienced Manitou’s unique traditions, it’s frigid weather, and the Air Force ‘culture.’... “The ending was to–die–for–perfect, and had me smiling and zipping through the TCND blog posts one more time. A joyride I’ll not soon forget, Cubicle explores an important question: What if God has more planned for your life than you do?”
Michelle Sutton at ACFW.com

“I couldn’t put The Cubicle Next Door down, and had to keep reading to see what happens next. It is the perfect book to curl up with next to a roaring fire as Autumn’s chill begins to seep in. Grab your favorite hot beverage and pick up The Cubicle Next Door.”

 Something Beyond the Sky

Editorial Reviews

Mitchell, a military spouse, looks at the lives of military wives through the eyes of four diverse women... Mitchell is at her strongest portraying the frustrations of women coming to grips with careers and motherhood (or infertility or pregnancy) and the challenges of military life. She is adept with flashbacks and withholds certain key bits of information until the right moment, which adds punch to the narrative.
Publishers Weekly

Siri’s third novel is a detailed education on military life woven through entertaining slices of story. If you or your spouse are in the military, you’re going to love this book. If you’re not in the service, you’ll almost wish you were. This book really spoke to me, because although we’re not in the military, my family has moved almost every year during the past seven years. Something Beyond the Sky reminded me that friendships with other women are critical as I struggle to settle in each new place, grow in faith, and wait to see where God will take us next.

Something Beyond the Sky is a profoundly moving book. It made me realize I am not alone in this journey as a military wife. How fabulous it was to read something so realistic.

 Chateau of Echoes

Editorial Reviews

Many things make this book a top priority for discerning readers. The descriptions of Frederique’s culinary creations will have you raiding your cupboards. I’d never eaten as well as I did in this book. I’d also never appreciated such variety of clothing, the look and heft of fabrics, period furniture, or the color of sun in hair... The author’s considerable talent of observation is on fine display here. Clearly she senses the everyday wonder in the corporeal, and the strange significance of common beauty. Here is an author who wants her readers, like her characters, to experience life to its fullest... Siri Mitchell has been called one of the freshest new voices in Christian fiction, and for good reason. I am convinced that this author’s future is bright, and that her achingly real characters will continue to emerge from the echoes, revealing and breathing reality into our lives.

Siri Mitchell weaves a witty, double-edged tale of intrigue, romance, and French culture that is expertly researched, carefully spun, and deliciously satisfying. You will want to pack your bags for a never-ending vacation in France when you turn the last page -- this multi-dimensional story is that alluring.

Susan Meissner, author of Why the Sky is Blue and In All Deep Places

 

Reading Chateau of Echoes is like taking a European holiday in an unforgettable inn, with only the finest cuisine -- and all for the price of a book! I highly recommend this lovely literary getaway that you can enjoy from the comfort of your armchair.

Kissing Adrien

Editorial Reviews

In Kissing Adrien, new romantic fiction author, Siri Mitchell, demonstrates one of the clearest, most original voices of any debut novel I’ve read. Period. Her deft hand, skillfully wrapping serious subjects and vibrant, mature characters into the story, leaves one hopeful that her next books will continue the amazing promise put forth here. By all measures, I’d expect exciting things from this new master of “restrained romance” in the next few years... Kissing Adrien is a French excursion into nuance, pleasure, and experience. Board a plane and prepare to leave the North American Christian mindset. This book is a ticket to the pleasure of living, an adventure you’ll be pondering for weeks to come.
