"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

"An intricately braided narrative about a place that will be, for most readers, at first foreign and then familiar. Homestead is a book of marvels." - Charles Baxter
