Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage

by Belle Burden
Strangers A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden book cover - nonfiction memoir about marriage, betrayal, and self-discovery

Praise For This Book


"Reads like a love story and a horror story and, in one nail-biting section, like a financial thriller." - The New York Times (Editors' Choice)

"Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, is a beautifully written eulogy for the loss of a relationship that had been loving, trusting, 'traditional' (in the best, unironic sense of the word) - riveting reading for its heartrending candor. Belle Burden examines the very nature of intimacy, vulnerability, and, in practical terms, the naivete of many a young woman who falls in love with a 'perfect' mate." - Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times bestselling author of Fox

"Examines how we view intimacy, how the people closest to us can change without us knowing, and how to move forward in the wake of devastation." - W magazine
