Synopsis:

A novel which infuses the fresh voices of three women with empathy, radical humanity and wholesome friendship.

Gabriela is a journalist. After fifteen years of marriage, she begins a love story with a man she desired for a long time. Silvia is a photographer. She is pregnant again from a good man who doesn’t make her happy. Cósima, the stylist, is recently married but she soon discovers that her husband has stopped desiring her.

Alone, without husbands or children, once a year, they go on holidays to Formentera. This small island, bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean, will give them the calm that, many times, they do not find in their busy lives.

Through their dialogues, Stories of Married Women dissects their marriages, while delving into female intimacy and the reality of many contemporary women trapped in lives they never imagined.
