Japan, Fish, and Pineapple Chutney | Posted January 10, 2010
Nicole Michelin is a quirky, red-haired woman who lives a quiet life in her cozy little apartment. Two of her most prized possessions are: an aquarium with fish, and a Japanese doll named Sazae. Nicole often sleeps with her doll and wonders about it and the country it came from. She tries to avoid anything that has to do with Japan, but deep down she’s curious, too. Why doesn’t her father tell her more about life in Japan? What happened to her mom?

Nicole lost her mom at a very early age and she doesn’t know how. Since she doesn’t have a mother, she frequently visits her grandmother Ducee, who is just like a mother to her. Nicole’s father rarely ever sees her or talks to her, and she isn’t exactly sure why…

Nicole loves her life in Mount Olive, North Carolina with her eccentric relatives, Japanese doll, and pineapple chutney. But perhaps there’s more? When she’s not visiting her relatives or working as a teacher, she often writes for a website called Pretty Fishy. In one of her columns that she writes, she receives a comment from a stranger named Harrison Michaels. From that one comment, their e-mails grow and grow between each other and soon Nicole falls for him. But there’s just one problem… he lives in Japan and, he knows who she is…

My thoughts on Rain Song:

This is a fantastic book! I ate up every word of it and the author uses such good humor in her writing. Rain Song is written from a first-person perspective, which I haven’t read much of in other books. I really enjoyed reading from Nicole’s perspective, and after a while I developed a connection with her. There are only a few books, that draw me into a story and its main character. I loved Nicole’s character so much so that at the end of the book, I was sad to say goodbye. I wish that this was a series, but it’s not to be.

I have to say that the cover of this book is beautiful! I also want to make note that at the end of this book there’s a recipe for pineapple chutney. All in all, this is a five-star book and I recommend it to everyone. Check out Alice J. Wisler’s website at: http://www.alicewisler.com/
