Belle Burden’s “Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage” has become one of the biggest books of the year. The title debuted at No. 1 on the Times hardcover nonfiction list in January and remains near the top of the rankings.
The book is now in its ninth printing four months after publication. Its popularity has led to widespread recommendations, as noted by NPR’s Juana Summers on “All Things Considered.” She asked listeners if they had experienced friends and family urging them to read the memoir.
