我們並肩而坐,卻隔著一整個宇宙。
「你真的了解那個每天睡在你身邊的人嗎?」
在《Strangers》中,貝兒.波登(Belle Burden)打破了婚姻的粉紅濾鏡。這不是一本教你如何修補關係的工具書,而是一場關於「看見」的旅程。她寫出了所有已婚人士都曾感受過、卻不敢言說的瞬間:
當對話變成例行公事,我們何時變成了住在同一個屋簷下的陌生人?
在「妻子」與「母親」的標籤之下,那個真實的「我」去了哪裡?
我們追求的究竟是真正的親密,還是僅僅是不用孤單一人的安全感?
這本書,獻給所有在關係中感到孤獨的人。 貝兒以如手術刀般精準的文字,劃開了婚姻的皮肉,讓我們看見其中的恐懼、渴望與那份依然存在的、微弱卻堅定的愛。
「讀完這本書,你會想轉過頭,重新認識身邊的那個人。」
A gorgeous memoir about the sudden end to a seemingly happy marriage--an aching, love-filled, and transcendent account of surviving betrayal and discovering joy
"A powerful testament to reclaiming voice, power, and joy." -- Adrienne Brodeur, New York Times bestselling author of Wild Game
On a chilly day in early spring, Belle Burden's husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her. Belle was shocked; he had always been a committed partner and a devoted father to their three children. She thought they were in love. She thought he--they--were living the life they'd always wanted: professional success, summers at their beloved beachside home, a vibrant social life. But overnight, her caring, steady husband became a man she hardly recognized. He exited his life with her like an actor shrugging off a costume.
In Strangers, Belle 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 whose nickname was "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 and rediscovers trust in herself. Strangers is a stunning, deeply moving, compulsively readable memoir heralding the arrival of a thrilling new literary talent.
