Sharp, quirky, and deeply tender, you'll laugh out loud at The Pajama Girls [of Lambert Square] -- Jacqueline Mitchard

Rosina Lippi was born and raised in Chicago, but she has lived for longer periods in the Austrian alps, on the East coast (where she earned a PhD in linguistics from Princeton) and Michigan.

Sara Donati is Rosina's alterego. Sara lives only to write the Wilderness series (all published by Bantam in hard and soft cover).

If you were looking for my weblog (called Storytelling), or following a link to a particular post on the weblog, you have landed here because the weblog is not available. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

The sixth and last book in the wilderness series (The Endless Forest) will be coming out in late January 2010.

More on the Wilderness novels here.

[with Tied to the Tracks] Lippi turns her buoyant creative talents to the romantic comedy genre with an effervescent tale of a trio of offbeat Yankee filmmakers plunked down deep in the heart of Dixie. --Booklist

An intelligent romp. --Kirkus

One is reminded of Garcia-Marquez's Hundred Years of Solitude, where the names also recur from one generation to the next, and whose style is similarly simple yet profound, honest and yet soothing. -- Dylan Evans

Rosina Lippi is one of those impassioned storytellers who moves us to tears and makes us grateful for it. Reading Homestead, I felt some deep, tender part of me touched and made stronger. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful piece of work. --Dorothy Allison
