«Dúo» is the novel by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette about a marriage in crisis, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
A married couple lives peacefully in a country house until the husband finds a letter revealing his wife's affair with his partner and friend. From then on, their life together fills with silences, reproaches and pretense before the neighbours, while he tries to decide what hurts more: the spiritual complicity of the lovers or a mere carnal whim. Colette portrays with psychological irony her maturity against his moral rigidity.
Part of the Panorama de narrativas collection, volume 26, with a prologue by Milena Busquets. Originally published in 1934; this Spanish edition dates from 1983.
