Married Life

Jacqueline Cascorro, once a heartbroken and disillusioned wife, finds herself in a whirlwind of new experiences after her husband Nicolás Lobato’s infidelity. 

As Nicolás’s business success elevates their social status, Jacqueline is introduced to a world of refined tastes and colors that were once beyond her reach. Through new acquaintances and lavish parties, she yearns for a more fulfilling life and a genuine love. Unable to accept her current reality, Jacqueline embarks on a series of misadventures, navigating the high society of Mexico in search of love.

In this tragicomic satire of marriage from one of Mexico's most celebrated writers, a heartbroken and disillusioned wife sets out to remake her life after her husband’s infidelity. As Nicolás Lobato’s success begins to elevate himself and his wife into the upper tier of Mexico’s high society, his infidelities come to light, plunging his wife Jacqueline Cascorro into a carousel of flirtations and schemes that transform her quest for love and revenge into a veritable comedy of errors. In the last volume of his celebrated Carnival Triptych, Sergio Pitol exposes the pretensions of the upper class, the hypocrisy behind its feigned propriety, and marriage itself as a carefully staged farce in which ambition and desire masquerade as fidelity and passion.
