Nothing But the Rain
Nothing But the Rain | Naomi Salman
4 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
A sleepy little town discovers its memories have become part of the water cycle in Naomi Salman's debut novella, Nothing but the Rain. The rain in Aloisville is never-ending, and no one can remember when it started. Theres not much they can remember. With every drop that hits their skin, a bit of memory is washed away. Stay too long in the wet, and youll lose everything you used to be. By the time Laverne begins keeping a journal, the small town she calls home has been irreparably changed. Every drop of water is dangerous, from leaky faucets to the near-constant rainfall, and a careless trip outside can mean a life down the drain. With mysterious forces preventing escape, calls for rebellion seem to be on every residents lips. But Laverne has no interest in fighting. She has no interest in rebellion. She just wants to survive.

Mehso-so

I had an on-boarding issue with this book, I just didn't connect to the character. The writing is good, the story is good, very Shirley Jackson who I love. And a nice svelte 98 pages. Definitely worth a try for other people. But there is just something in the first third which didn't work for me and left me outside the glass for the other two thirds. I can respect this story but I just didn't get the emotional response to it.
