FOREVER BARCELONA

A Love Story

By: Randall Peffer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Writer Isa Korn is casting caution to the wind. She is taking a deep dive into the dangerous, intoxicating, and glamorous underworld of Spain’s most romantic city and its most controversial spectacle, the bullfight.

It’s the summer of 2001. Isa is a feature writer for Sports Illustrated. She has come to Barcelona to write a piece about the pageantry, tradition, and passion of the bullring. But she finds herself falling under the spell of Santi, the gorgeous, genuine Cuban surgeon, Ernest Hemingway’s onetime-lover, and a wounded bullfighter.

Sparks are about to fly as the four of them head to one of the world’s greatest fiestas, the Running of the Bulls at Pamplona. Forbidden passions ignite, long-lost lovers reappear, and love triangles bloom. Amid the pageantry, the fiestas, and the danger, Isa must search for her truest self while torn between her attraction to Santi and her loyalty to her live-in boyfriend back in Boston. She must grasp for emotional, moral, and spiritual balance. Forever Barcelona is an homage to the glory of love set amid the spell-bound atmosphere of Gaudí’s Barcelona, Dalí’s Catalonia, and Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
