"When it rained, I could always hear it on the roof, and then I remembered that I wasn't, you know... Alone." - Nori 
 
Asha Lemmie's debut novel didn't disappoint me at all. Fifty Words for Rain was top-notch. I usually would feel intimated reading 449 pages on weekdays because I have less time to read – I could only read before I go to bed. But after reading a few chapters, the story was flowing endlessly, and I forgot the time.  
 
The transition between each character telling their perspectives was smooth – I felt like I was watching a movie. I loved the main protagonist, Nori. She was a lovely character, to begin with, and became an elegant lady as the story developed.  
 
Although I was not a fan of the ending, the journey to get to the finish line was terrific, which I counted the most. I am not familiar with the cultural or historical aspect, so I am not sure about the accuracy. I enjoyed this novel because it's beautifully written. It captured the other side of the world, and there's only one word for the author: すごい
