Trust (Broché)

Even through th roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon ; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth - all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune ? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read.
Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit. Spanning a century, Hernan Diaz's TRUST elegantly puts four competing narratives into conversation with one another. At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
