Lovers at the Museum
Lovers at the Museum: A Short Story | Isabel Allende
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wind Knows My Name comes a mesmerizing tale of two passionate souls who share one magical night that defies all rational explanation.
Love, be it wild or tender, often defies logic. In fact, at times, the only rationale behind the instant connection of two souls is plain magic.
Bibiña Aranda, runaway bride, wakes up in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao still wearing her wedding dress, draped in the loving arms of a naked man whose name she doesn't know. She and the man with no clothes, Indar Zubieta, attempt to explain to the authorities how they got there. It's a story of love at first sight and experience beyond compare, one that involves a dreamlike journey through the museum.
But the lovers' transcendent night bears no resemblance to the crude one Detective Larramendi attempts to reconstruct. And no amount of fantastical descriptions can convince the irritated inspector of the truth.
Allende's dreamy short story has the power to transport readers in any language, leaving them to ponder the wonders of love long after the story's over.

This short story is set in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, #Spain, where two lovers are found sound asleep after a night of passion. An investigator prods them with questions--they were almost strangers to one another, yet she was wearing a wedding dress and he was wearing nothing--trying to find a crime they committed. Allende adds a touch of magical realism. A sweet fun story. #foodandlit @catsandbooks
