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
Read by a full cast of narrators, 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.
'One of the great puzzle-box novels, it’s the cleverest of conceits, wrapped up in a page-turner' – Telegraph
'Genius' – Lauren Groff, author of Matrix

Really astounding
The only contemporary novel I have read that stands up against classics. Incredibly intricate but the prose moves lightly.
It loops around like something from Borges might but has a natural flow that never feels weighed down. Exceptional on a line level but so complex in its structure that it is hypnotic. There's a deceptive simplicity that is peeled away again and again.
So impressive, really enjoyed it.

Behind Every Great Man...
This is an intriguing intellectual exercise of a novel. As Mildred said: 'the right notes without any sense of rhythm". This is perhaps a little harsh but I did enjoy the book more with my head than my heart. I loved the final section and if history is often written by the survivors I was really pleased to see Mildred's story emerge from the shadows.

Utterly brilliant
The four stories are so incredibly well done. Brilliant characters, changing view points, multidimensional. I was hooked from the very beginning

Ruined by the ending
After asking us to question the reality behind the stories we are told and the complexities of events and individuals, the ending suddenly reverts to cliché and transforms the subjects into 2 dimensional characters worthy of a bad comic book.

Multi layered fiction
A seemingly simple story that becomes more nuanced with each telling to provide the complexity due it’s subject

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.

Gripping
The first three sections had me gripped. I found the final part unconvincing but don’t want to write more as it would be a plot spoiler.

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.

Never judge a book by its cover..true for this one!
I was quite confused at the beginning of this book- I hadn’t expected a compete past narrative of a rich financier’s life, which then segued into a similar narrative of a man who you then come to understand is one and the same..Finally the story takes shape and emotion as we hear the journalist’s story and finally that of the protagonist’s wife, Mildred..who is really who the book is about..and a mystery is solved.
Beautiful prose, some memorable phrases which resonate even today..
