About this book

BESTSELLER INSTANTÁNEO #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES "Las memorias incisivas y conmovedoras de Burden exploran... todo lo que aprendió sobre la intimidad y sobre sí misma." --People"Un clásico instantáneo bellamente escrito. Strangers es absorbente, desgarrador e imprescindible para toda esposa... y también para todo esposo." --Graydon Carter "Nos invita a enfrentarnos a algunas de las preguntas más complejas de la vida: ¿podemos ver las grietas invisibles de un matrimonio o conocer realmente a las personas más cercanas a nosotros?" --Lori Gottlieb Era una gran historia de amor, una de esas que parecen destinadas a durar para siempre. La intensidad del comienzo y la brusquedad del final parecían dos extremos perfectamente unidos. Ambos llegaron de la nada. Él la quería. La quería a ella. Y de pronto, dejó de hacerlo. En marzo de 2020, Belle Burden vivía segura junto a su familia en Martha's Vineyard, atravesando los primeros meses de la pandemia entre chimeneas encendidas, whisky sour y cenas compartidas. Entonces, sin previo aviso ni explicación, su marido de veinte años le anunció que la abandonaba. De la noche a la mañana, el hombre atento y estable que conocía se convirtió en alguien irreconocible. En Extraños, Burden reconstruye su matrimonio en busca de señales de que su esposo nunca fue quien ella creyó. Mientras revisita su relación desde una nueva perspectiva, también se enfrenta a la historia de su propia familia y a todo lo que aprendió sobre cómo se espera que una mujer reaccione ante la traición. Y, en medio del dolor, encuentra una nueva voz: más fuerte, más valiente y decidida a no desaparecer. Con una honestidad desarmante y una enorme sensibilidad, Belle Burden transforma el desamor en un poderoso retrato de resiliencia, amor propio y reconstrucción. Strangers es unas memorias profundamente emotivas, irresistiblemente adictivas y la llegada de una nueva voz literaria extraordinaria. English description instant #1 New York Times bestseller - "Burden's searing, probing memoir explores . . . what she learned about intimacy and her own spirit."--People​​ "A beautifully written instant classic. Strangers is gripping and heartbreaking and a must-read for every wife--and husband."--Graydon Carter "Asks us to examine life's most perplexing questions: Can we see the invisible fault lines in a marriage or truly know the people closest to us?"--Lori Gottlieb It was a great love story, one for the ages. The speed of our beginning and the speed of our ending felt like matching bookends. They both came out of nowhere. He wanted it, he wanted me. And then he didn't. In March 2020, Belle Burden was safe and secure with her family at their house on Martha's Vineyard, navigating the early days of the pandemic together--building fires in the late afternoons, drinking whisky sours, making roast chicken. Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband of twenty years announced that he was leaving her. Overnight, her caring, steady partner became a man she hardly recognized. He exited his life with her like an actor shrugging off a costume. In Strangers, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for clues that her husband was not who she always thought he was. As she examines her relationship through a new lens, she reckons with her own family history and the lessons she intuited about how a woman is expected to behave in the face of betrayal. Through all of it, she is transformed. The discreet, compliant woman she once was--someone nicknamed "Belle the Good"--gives way to someone braver, someone determined to use her voice. With unflinching honesty and profound grace, Burden charts a path through heartbreak to show the power of a woman who refuses to give up on love. Strangers is a stunning, deeply moving, compulsively readable memoir heralding the arrival of a thrilling new literary talent.
