Trust is a novel that tells the story of Benjamin and Helen Rask, a wealthy and influential couple in New York in the 1920s and 1930s. Their life and fortune are the subject of a popular novel called Bonds, written by an anonymous author in 1937. However, there are other versions of their story that contradict or challenge the official narrative. The novel Trust consists of four manuscripts that present different perspectives and interpretations of the Rasks’ history, secrets, and motives. The novel explores the themes of money, power, intimacy, perception, and truth. It is a literary puzzle that invites the reader to question the reliability and manipulation of facts and fiction. It is the second novel by Hernan Diaz, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his debut novel In the Distance123.
