Love, even spontaneous just-left-my-fiancé-at-the-altar stranger love, can transcend reality.

Sharp, vivid writing that blends fun mystery with contemporary fiction and magical realism. My mother described this as “totally a story Eva Luna [also by Isabel Allende] would tell�.

A great short story, and one that gives me the same feeling as Haruki Murakami's “Barn Burning”—is wanting just a little bit more a me problem? Both stories, written by brilliant authors, are crafted in ways that leave you with the weight of interpretation.

Already looking forward to my next Isabel Allende read.

Thanks to Netgalley, Amazon Original Stories, and Isabel Allende for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
