Publisher's summary

WINNER of the Pulitzer Prize

The Sunday Times Bestseller

Best Books of 2022 pick—New York Times, Obama, TIME, Slate, Oprah Daily, Kirkus, LA Times, EW, Sarah Jessica Parker

Trust by Hernan Diaz is a sweeping, unpredictable novel about power, wealth and truth, set against the backdrop of turbulent 1920s New York. Perfect for fans of Succession.

Can one person change the course of history?

A Wall Street tycoon takes a young woman as his wife. Together they rise to the top in an age of excess and speculation. But now a novelist is threatening to reveal the secrets behind their marriage, and this wealthy man’s story—of greed, love and betrayal—is about to slip from his grasp.

Composed of four competing versions of this deliciously deceptive tale, Trust brings us on a quest for truth while confronting the lies that often live buried in the human heart.

One of the great books of 2022

A very good and well written novel with an unexpected structure, asking one major question: what is the truth?

Wonderful, phenomenal and all in between

Extraordinary storytelling, intriguing storyline and fantastically executed narration. I was slightly put off by the reviews of the listeners who did not enjoy the book but honestly I have found the descriptions of people and places to be the most enjoyable. I loved each of the characters and the depths of their depiction. Highly recommend if you like a historical fiction with a twist.

Well written and captivating!

Loved the story and the writing. Interesting way to present the role that women played in finance where men are often portrayed as the poster children of financial ingenuity and success.

Dull and overly long

The first two sections are tedious - not helped by 3rd person narrative. The literary device they feed into is interesting, but couldn’t this have been done in a 70-page novella?
