內容簡介

內容簡介 《陌生人》紐約名媛 Belle Burden 離婚回憶錄 《紐約時報》即時冠軍：以為相濡以沫，卻早已同床異夢一段二十年的婚姻，如何在一夕之間變成陌生人？2020年3月，貝兒・柏登原以為自己擁有穩固安定的家庭生活，卻在疫情初期，毫無預警地被丈夫宣告離開。曾經溫柔可靠的伴侶，突然像卸下角色般抽身而去，讓她不得不重新回望這段婚姻，尋找那些早已存在、卻始終未被看見的裂縫。在《Strangers》中，柏登以坦率而優雅的筆觸，書寫背叛、親密關係與自我重建。她不只追問我們是否真的認識最親近的人，也回望自身家族與女性在婚姻中被期待的順從姿態。曾被稱為「乖巧的貝兒」的她，最終學會發聲，成為更勇敢、更忠於自己的女人。這是一部關於心碎、覺醒與愛的回憶錄，寫給每一個曾在親密關係中迷失，又努力找回自己的人。《紐約時報》即時冠軍暢銷書「柏登這部犀利而深刻的回憶錄，探究了……她從親密關係以及自身靈魂中學到了什麼。」——《People》雜誌「一部文筆優美、堪稱當代經典的作品。《Strangers》扣人心弦、令人心碎，是每一位妻子——也是每一位丈夫——都該閱讀的一本書。」——格雷登．卡特（Graydon Carter）「它迫使我們思考人生最令人困惑的問題：我們是否能看見婚姻中那些無形的裂痕？又是否真的了解與自己最親近的人？」——蘿莉．葛利布（Lori Gottlieb）那曾是一段足以流傳一世的愛情故事。我們開始得如此迅速，結束得也同樣迅速，彷彿兩端遙相呼應的書擋。兩者都來得毫無預警。他想要這段感情，他想要我。然後，他不再想要了。2020 年 3 月，在疫情初期，貝兒．柏登（Belle Burden）與家人安然住在瑪莎葡萄園島（Martha’s Vineyard）的家中，度過封城初期的日子——午後生起壁爐火、啜飲威士忌酸酒、烤上一隻烤雞。一切看似平靜安穩。然而，就在毫無預警、毫無解釋的情況下，與她結縭二十年的丈夫突然宣布要離開她。一夕之間，那位體貼、可靠的伴侶，變成了一個她幾乎認不得的人。他就像演員脫下戲服般，輕易地退出了與她共同建立的人生。在《Strangers》中，柏登重新回望自己的婚姻，試圖尋找蛛絲馬跡，證明丈夫或許從來就不是她一直以為的那個人。當她以全新的視角重新審視這段關係時，也開始正視自己的家族歷史，以及那些讓她從小內化、認為女性在面對背叛時「應該如何表現」的信念。而在這一切歷程中，她也完成了自我的蛻變。那個曾經低調、順從、被暱稱為「乖女孩貝兒」（Belle the Good）的女人，逐漸讓位給一個更加勇敢、決心為自己發聲的人。 柏登以毫不退縮的誠實與深刻動人的優雅筆觸，描繪了一條穿越心碎的道路，展現一位拒絕放棄愛情的女性所蘊藏的力量。《Strangers》是一部令人震撼、深深動人的回憶錄，讀來令人欲罷不能，也宣告了一位極具潛力的新文學聲音正式誕生。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 GottliebIt 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.
