Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage
by Belle Burden
Belle Burden's memoir Strangers opens where most marriage stories close: a husband of twenty years walking out in the first weeks of the pandemic, no explanation offered. What follows is a careful, self-interrogating account of how little we can really know the people we sleep beside, and how much of a partner we build out of our own need.
