书籍简介

荣登《纽约时报》畅销书 • “伯顿这本感人至深、发人深省的回忆录探索了……她对亲密关系和自身精神的领悟。”——《人物》杂志

“文笔优美，堪称经典之作。《陌生人》扣人心弦，令人心碎，是每位妻子——以及丈夫——的可读之作。”——格雷顿·卡特

“它促使我们审视人生中令人困惑的问题：我们能否看清婚姻中那些看不见的裂痕？我们是否真正了解身边亲近的人？”——洛里·戈特利布

这是一个伟大的爱情故事，足以载入史册。我们开始得如此之快，结束得又如此之快，仿佛书的两端，彼此呼应。一切都来得猝不及防。他想要这段感情，他想要我。然后，他却不再想要了。

2020年3月，贝尔·伯顿和家人在玛莎葡萄园岛的家中安然度过疫情初期，一起在午后生火、喝威士忌酸酒、烤鸡，一切都那么平静安稳。然而，毫无预兆，结婚二十年的丈夫突然宣布要离开她。一夜之间，她那体贴稳重的伴侣变成了她几乎认不出的模样。他就像演员脱下戏服一样，悄无声息地离开了她的生活。

在《陌生人》一书中，伯顿重新审视了她的婚姻，试图从中寻找线索，证明她的丈夫并非她一直以来所认为的那样。她以全新的视角审视这段关系，反思自己的家族史，以及她从小就耳濡目染的关于女性在面对背叛时应该如何表现的种种感悟。经历这一切，她发生了转变。曾经那个谨慎顺从的“善良的贝尔”——一个被人们称为“好女人贝尔”的女人——变成了一个更加勇敢、决心发出自己声音的女人。

伯顿以毫不掩饰的坦诚和深沉的优雅，描绘了一段穿越心碎的旅程，展现了一位女性永不放弃爱情的力量。《陌生人》是一部令人惊艳、感人至深、引人入胜的回忆录，预示着一位才华横溢的新锐作家横空出世。

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.
