Trust

by Hernan Diaz

Amid the clamor and glamour of 1920s New York, the gripping narrative of 'Trust' introduces us to Benjamin and Helen Rask. Benjamin, a Wall Street magnate, and Helen, born to capricious aristocrats, ascend to monumental wealth just as the roaring decade's bubble edges towards its inevitable burst. Their wealth is legendary, but its provenance is shrouded in secrecy. Central to this enigma is 'Bonds,' a famous fictional work from 1937 that echoes with echoes of their story, a tale that New York has devoured. However, this is but one layer. Hernan Diaz's 'Trust' masterfully orchestrates a concert of narratives, challenging truths against the tendrils of fiction through the keen eyes of an elusive woman who refuses to accept fact as presented. Spanning a century, this novel dives into the heart of intimate relationships, the distortions birthed by unchecked capital, and the manipulations of power. 'Trust' pulls the reader into an intricate dance of revelations, each one more invigorating, inviting us to question the tales that shape our perceptions.
