 Disclosure: Unless I state so explicitly, I have not received any kind of payment for a book review that appears here or under my name on the Goodreads website.  If I am given a free review copy of a novel, I will say so when I review it. I no longer review novels for Publishers Weekly, but some reviews on Goodreads were written for that publication, and they are clearly marked as such. If I have a personal connection to an author, I will make that clear before reviewing that person’s work.

In the case of my own books and links to places to purchase them, I don’t receive any percentage of those sales beyond my contractual portion as the original author. 

My comment/discussion policy is simple: your opinion is welcome;  your comments—supportive, critical or otherwise are welcome. I do not censor or delete comments except in the following situations:

  • Disagreement is healthy, so long as it is respectfully voiced. Bullying and personal attacks will be deleted and the author banned.
  • Spam and spam-like advertising links will be deleted.
  • Material that violates copyright or constitutes plagiarism will be deleted. After one warning the author will be banned.

On copyright: I respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask that commenters do the same. If I have failed to acknowledge copyright or misidentified a copyright holder, please contact me and I will correct the problem.

My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor,  writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series,  Where the Light Enters, was  released in 2019.

Wise Guys

If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
