Kau wela, mākala nui. ʻO wai ka mea e hoʻomanaʻo iki ʻole i kēlā kauwela me kāna aloha mua i ʻoi aku a i ʻole hoʻokō ʻole ʻia, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ke aloha akā maikaʻi mau. I kekahi manawa me he mea lā ua ʻimi kekahi o ko mākou ola ʻē aʻe i nā ala ʻē aʻe ma waena o nā mokulele kūlohelohe hou mai kēlā piko o ke kauwela ʻōpio e like me ka pau ʻole.
Inā ʻoe e heluhelu ana i kahi puke e pili ana i kahi aloha mua mai ka makahiki kanawalu kanawalu, kahi manawa āu i hele ai i loko o kēlā ʻōpio piha i nā manaʻo aloha transcendental akā e pau ana i ka mālamalama o ka transian o kēlā mau makahiki, ua aloha ʻoe ʻoi aku me kahi ʻano e like me Maeve Donnelly.
I ka hihia o ka protagonist o kēia puke, kona huli ʻana, ka manawa i hoʻomaha ʻia ai kāna aloha mua i ka limbo o kona wā ʻōpio, ua ulu nā mea āpau i ka huhū. I ke kauwela o 1988, hiki iā Maeve ke kaʻana like i kahi manawa nani me Daniel, me ka honi. Akā ma lalo o kēlā rhythm impetuous o ka wā ʻōpio, ʻo Maeve wiwo ʻole, makemake nui i ke kai i kona wā ʻōpio, komo i loko o ka wai i ka manawa like kahi manō ʻeleʻele, makemake maoli i nā wai papau, hala a hoʻopau i ka nahu. ia.
Maʻalahi e hoʻomaopopo i ka holoi ʻia o ka ulia a i lawelawe ʻia ma ke ʻano he divergence no ka moʻolelo aloha i ka hana ʻana. Akā naʻe, ua ulu wale ko Maeve makemake i ke kai me ka pōʻino naʻe i hiki ke hoʻopau i kona ola.
Loaʻa iā mākou nā hoʻolālā ola ʻelua o Maeve. He aha ka mea hiki a he aha ia. A ʻo ka holomua o ko Maeve ola ma ke ala o ke aloha i ka wā ʻōpio, kūlohelohe, me ka haʻalele ʻana o ke aloha mua i komo i loko o nā wai o ke kai e kali ana iā ia ma ke ʻano he kumuhana na ka biologist kai e hiki mai ana. A laila ua kau ka mea kākau i kahi paradox hoihoi ... Ua koho ʻo Maeve e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i ka mea e hoʻopau ana i kona ola ʻoiai ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kēlā aloha i noho pū me ka hanana i ke kauwela like. Ua makemake ʻo Maeve e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i ka ʻeha ma mua o ka ʻae ʻana i ke aloha.
Akā ʻaʻole ia he puke moʻolelo kaumaha, ʻokoʻa loa. ʻO ko Maeve hoʻi ʻana i ka mokupuni o kona wā ʻōpio kau iā ia ma mua o ke keʻa ʻana o nā laina koʻikoʻi ʻelua i huki ʻia. A ʻo ia ka manawa e hauʻoli ai mākou i nā kūlike ʻole o ke kanaka, me kahi kiko hoʻomākeʻaka a me kahi ʻono aloha e pili ana i ka mea i loaʻa i ke aloha hoʻohui a me nā mea i ʻike ʻia i ke aloha nalo.
Hoaʻo ʻo Maeve e ola. He mau makahiki ma hope o ka hanana, kona hoʻi ʻana i ka mokupuni ke kumu o ka hui hou ʻana me Daniel. Akā ma kona ʻaoʻao ʻo Nicholas, kahi ipo e like me ia o ke kai a me ka moana. ʻO ka hala, kēia manawa a me nā kānalua o ka wā e hiki mai ana e hoʻopili me kekahi a i kekahi manawa ʻē aʻe. No ka mea i ka hopena, hoʻokahi wale nō ola.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka puke Hotel of the Muses, ka puke na Ann Kidd Taylor, ma aneʻi:
