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.

wasn't sure... then adoration

I started this and wasn't sure at all... then I was caught.

I've finished and am going straight to start again.

Beautifully read, but so BORING!

What a boring book, how did it get published? So many fancy words about nothing.

No clothes on the emperor

I could list all the good things about this book but it failed to keep my interest. I ploughed on, skipping forward. It just doesn’t amount to a good book - more perhaps essays to go towards a play. Incredibly boring in parts.

Dull

The first third of the book held my interest but unfortunately it meandered into a rambling mess of a story. Don’t waste a credit on this.

Slowly draws you in

Patience and then you slip into this world and these people and who Mildred is becomes a vital thing to discover?
Who was she? What was she? How did she die?
The truth of who someone is hidden beneath the opinions, weaknesses of others, the stories they prefer to tell.
Really very good and beautifully read by all the narrators.

Forgettable

It was dry for the first half, slightly better in the second, but ultimately uninteresting and quickly set aside.

A lot of fuss …..

I found this less gripping than I had expected given the hype around it. Neither New York, Italian diaspora nor trading given any different nuance from previous reading, perhaps a function of what I had read before.

Grew on me

It took me perhaps a third of the book to understand what it is: a collection of perspectives on one woman’s story and on the momentous consequences of her story. Initially I mistook the novel for a somewhat loathsome celebration of market economics and philanthropy by money makers. It is not that at all and it becomes richer. Particularly enjoyed the story of her biographer, and the writing of the end section is exquisite. A book has to be very special for me to want to read it twice and I am curious enough, now I’ve reached the end, to start again and read it with foresight.
