Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

The Scent of Sake has memorable characters. But it's the way the story is told that makes this book less than wonderful. Nonetheless, I still think that it was an enjoyable read. For a few hours, I was transported into the world of sake merchants in 19th Century Japan, following, but never rooting for its main character, Riye, quite a woman to say the least.
I would be unfair to compare this book to James Clavell's Shogun or even to Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. The Scent of Sake is not a masterpiece but can be thoroughly enjoyed on a cool, rainy day -- with excellent Sake if possible.
