In **Strangers** by **Belle Burden**, an intimate memoir meets clear-eyed social critique, tracing one woman’s life as it splits in two and then rebuilds itself from the inside out. If you’re drawn to emotionally honest writing that reads with the drive of literary fiction, this is the kind of book that pulls you close and stays with you.
In March 2020, as the pandemic unsettles the world, Burden’s twenty-year marriage ends without warning. The person she trusted most—partner, co-parent, companion—becomes suddenly unknowable. In the aftermath, she navigates grief, rage and reinvention, while interrogating the quiet expectations placed on “good” women.
Perfect for readers who love **Modern Love**-style storytelling, feminist memoir, and books about marriage, betrayal and personal transformation—especially fans of Glennon Doyle.
Add **Strangers** to your shelf for a fiercely observant, deeply human reading experience.
