TRUST by Hernan Diaz

TRUST is the second novel from acclaimed author Hernan Diaz, following the story of a Wall Street trader and his wife in the lead up to the Great Depression. He is a legendary business tycoon, she’s the daughter of eccentric aristocrats, and together they’re an enigma at the heart of New York society. The story unfolds through a series of manuscripts that offer differing perspectives of their rise to fame and fortune—and in the process, we’re left to question their motives, their perspectives, and the line between fact and fiction.

A winner of 2023’s Pulitzer Prize, TRUST is an engaging and kaleidoscopic read that spans a century and offers new revelations at every turn. Set in the New York of Gatsby and Rockefeller, it offers a fresh take on a familiar era and a new perspective into the people that were privileged enough to define it.
