Belle Burden’s ‘Strangers’: what remains when a marriage ends?

“Strangers”, which entered The New York Times hardcover non-fiction bestseller list at number one, tells of Belle Burden facing the collapse of her twenty-year marriage. It is a sincere and at times painful memoir that questions the financial inequalities hidden behind the curtain of love and trust, the silence expected of women, and how much of themselves a person can lose while devoting their life to a relationship.
