Ryka Aoki's debut novel, Seasonal Velocities, is a poignant and evocative exploration of time, memory, and the interconnectedness of human lives. Set against the backdrop of a small town in California, the novel follows the lives of three main characters: Wes, a young woman struggling with grief and loss; Yumi, an elderly woman with dementia; and Sam, a mysterious bartender who holds the key to their shared past.
The Flux of Time
Time is a central theme in Seasonal Velocities. The novel explores how time can both heal and wound, both move us forward and hold us back. Wes, Yumi, and Sam are all characters who are grappling with their own unique experiences of time.
Wes is struggling to come to terms with the death of her father. She feels stuck in time, unable to move on with her life. Yumi, on the other hand, is slipping further into the past as her dementia progresses. She is unable to remember the present, and her memories of the past are becoming increasingly fragmented.
Sam is a character who exists outside of time. He is a mysterious figure who seems to know more than he lets on about Wes, Yumi, and their shared past. He is able to move through time at will, and he uses this ability to help Wes and Yumi come to terms with their own experiences of time.
The Interconnectedness of Human Lives
Another major theme in Seasonal Velocities is the interconnectedness of human lives. Wes, Yumi, and Sam are all connected to each other in ways that they do not initially realize. Their lives intersect in unexpected ways, and their stories are ultimately intertwined.
The novel explores how our lives are shaped by the people we meet, and how our actions can have a ripple effect on others. It also explores how we are all connected to the past, present, and future, and how our experiences in one time period can affect us in another.
A Poignant and Evocative Novel
Seasonal Velocities is a poignant and evocative novel that explores the complex themes of time, memory, and the interconnectedness of human lives. Ryka Aoki's writing is lyrical and immersive, and her characters are complex and relatable. The novel is sure to stay with readers long after they finish reading it.
Highly Recommended
I highly recommend Seasonal Velocities to anyone who is interested in reading a well-written and thought-provoking novel. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
