First, thanks to all of you over the last few months. Pub dates are always nerve-wracking, but the kind comments and support here and on FaceBook and Twitter have been a great distraction, and much appreciated.
Second: it’s here! Happy reading. And please, when you have a moment, think about leaving a review wherever you normally do such things — Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, your own blog — getting the word out is part of making sure there’s another novel forthcoming.
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.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.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
I just ordered the Gilded hour from Amazon.
YAY!! Next book club read.
I love bookclubs. Tell them all hello, please.
Rosina- I was both anxious and ecstatic when The Gilded Hour came out. I was anxious because I feared the book would be just a a re-telling of Elizabeth and Nathaniel’s story, but set in another time and place; but also ecstatic because I dearly loved Elizabeth and Nathaniel and their entire family and have missed them these many years. In the Gilded Hour you have resurrected that special place, no not the endless forest, but that place filled with deep and abidingly love supervised by female wisdom. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with all of us.
That is a wonderful compliment. Thank you, Pakou.
