Margarita Barresi dives deep into the intricacies of long-term relationships and into Puerto Rico's political past in A Delicate Marriage. Set in the late 1920s to early 1950s, this story follows the lives of Marco and Isabela as they grow from young adults with big dreams to mature adults with a passion for change.
Coming from much different backgrounds, Isabela enjoys the perks of growing up in a well-off family, while Marco works tirelessly to study and better his situation. After they meet by chance, the two begin to enjoy each other's company on the weekends, much to the disdain of Isabela's father.
With big dreams of moving to Mexico to become an actress, Isabela is surprised to find her entire worldview shifting the more she spends time with Marco. When a hurricane hits, it changes the lives of Marco and Isabela forever. What used to matter to her seems unimportant when compared to the pain and suffering that so many Puerto Ricans are experiencing each day.
Inspired by Marco's goals of changing their country for the better, Isabela decides to abandon her acting dreams and the two decide to take a leap of faith in the future and each other. But like many fanciful dreams, the reality of their situation ends up being something quite different than they imagined.
