Tied to the Tracks

[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

[This] is a hilarious, smart, sexy novel with a heart of gold.-- Susan Wiggs

The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square original title: Pajama Jones

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

Full of Lippi's trademark dry wit, tempered by deep empathy, Pajama Girls is a charmer, a rich pleasure of a book from start to finish -- Joshilyn Jackson

Homestead (pdf excerpt)
as reviewed by Dylan Evans for The Orange Prize (Britain) 2001 shortlist:

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.

An intricately braided narrative about a place that will be, for most readers, at first foreign and then familiar. These stories about love and community are exceptionally vivid, even when they contain ghosts and traces of memory. Homestead is a book of marvels.--Charles Baxter

The fascinating stories in Rosina Lippi's novel create a village across time and change by introducing a whole population of souls we would never otherwise meet--their losses and desires, their thwarted curiosity about the wider world. The women in this haunting book are deeply and uniquely of their place, which is rendered with care and precision, yet they speak (often wordlessly) of women's longings and satisfactions everywhere.-- Rosellen Brown

In Rosenau, a small, fully imagined world in the heart of the Bregenz Forest, Rosina Lippi gives us not only a village and its life, whole, complex, and alive--she gives us our friends and neighbors and secrets. Her clear prose has the weight and tender history of old silver and the tang of stainless steel. There are a hundred truths in these twelve stories."--Amy Bloom
