This group of short stories connects the families of farmers and villagers in a remote area of the Austrian Alps. Over a span of eighty years, the characters experience the conflicts and changes of the twentieth century that impact even the most isolated areas of Europe. Intensely focused and told through individual viewpoints, these stories explore the inner lives of the characters. “Homestead” offers universal themes with a unique setting. Lippi has written a tender and compassionate account that makes the reader wish for more.
Written by Rosina Lippi in 1998, “Homestead” is her first novel and winner of the Pen/Hemingway Award. Located on the second floor in our fiction collection (FIC Lippi).
