Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden
When the coronavirus shut down New York City in March of 2020, Belle Burden, her husband—a lawyer turned financier—and two of their three children left their apartment in Lower Manhattan and decamped for the wide-open spaces of Martha’s Vineyard, where they owned a vacation home.
The island was firmly in the grip of winter and pandemic fears, but inside the family’s house, all seemed safe and cozy, Burden writes in her affecting book, Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, an expansion of her 2023 viral Modern Love column for The New York Times.
