Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller. People described Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage as a searing, probing memoir about intimacy and the author’s own spirit.
It began as a great love story. Belle Burden believed she was safe and secure in her twenty-year marriage, spending the early days of the pandemic with her family at their house on Martha’s Vineyard. Then, without warning or explanation, her husband announced that he was leaving.
Overnight, the caring and steady partner she thought she knew became almost unrecognisable. In Strangers, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for signs she may have missed and trying to understand how someone so close could suddenly feel like a stranger.
As she looks back, she also reckons with her family history and the quiet lessons she absorbed about how women are expected to behave in the face of betrayal. The discreet, compliant woman once nicknamed “Belle the Good” begins to give way to someone braver, more honest, and determined to use her voice.
With honesty and grace, Strangers follows a path through heartbreak, transformation, and the difficult work of refusing to give up on love.
