The latest in Backstory's After the Rush series, in which they dig deeper into some of the most hyped book releases of recent times, focuses this Tuesday on Strangers, Belle Burden's memoir about the sudden collapse of a seemingly secure marriage. More than just an examination of the breakdown of her marriage, Strangers examines Burden's own upbringing, the expectations placed on women and the habits of discretion and compliance that shaped her identity.

The event will be led by Cristina McLauchlan, an event producer and holistic wellness coach based in Barcelona. Cristina is the founder of The Vibe Tribe, "a consultancy for holistic wellness coaching, and is a devoted advocate for the conservation of Earth". The event runs from 6pm-7pm, RSVP on Backstory's website to attend.
