Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard 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 top of a world of seemingly boundless wealth. 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 story. Hernan Diaz's Trust elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another - and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. Provocative and propulsive, Trust engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the myths shrouding wealth, the fictions that often pass for history, and the deceptions that can live at the heart of personal relationships.
