Bibiña Aranda, a runaway bride, awoke in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, in the tangles of her tattered wedding gown, lying in the arms of a naked man whose name she didn't know.
The cleaning woman who discovered them thought they were just another art piece on display.
Indar Zubieta, the unclothed man, and Bibiña began sharing with Detective Larramendi the details of their love-at-first-sight meeting and surrealistic overnight interlude through the museum.
However, when love is in the air, things are not easily explained...
Lovers in the Museum is a creative and beautifully written novelette by the bestselling author Isabel Allende. The 38M audiobook, expertly narrated by Nicholas Boulton, brought me to a moment or two when I felt like that little girl from long ago who blushed, mouth agape while sneaking a peek at my mother's spicy novels.
It did get a little hot in the Guggenheim Museum that night! Thank you for the memory, Ms. Allende! 4�

Why does this make me think of that friends episode where Ross and Rachel sleep in the museum?!

I've thought that Allende is overrated, but your description of this book sounds intriguing -- and better than the others I've read. Maybe i should give her one more try! THank you

Lovely review, Terrie!
