Extraños : Elegía de un matrimonio

In March 2020, Belle Burden was safely at home with her family on Martha's Vineyard, facing the early days of the pandemic. They lit bonfires in the evenings, made whiskey sours, and cooked roast chicken. Then, without warning or explanation, her husband told her he was leaving her. Overnight, her attentive and steady partner of twenty years became almost unrecognizable. He abandoned their shared life like an actor shedding a costume after a performance. In Strangers, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for signs that her husband wasn't who she had always believed him to be. By examining their relationship from a new perspective, she also confronts her own family history and the ideas she had internalized about how a woman is expected to react to betrayal. And, throughout this process, she herself is transformed. The discreet and compliant woman she had been - nicknamed "Belle the Good" - gives way to someone braver, determined to raise her voice.
