Longlisted for the Booker Prize
The Sunday Times Bestseller

Trust 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 by Hernan Diaz 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

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Reviewed as brilliant and destined to be known as one of the great puzzle-box novels, Trust by Hernan Diaz is praised for its clever conceits, unpredictability, and metafictional excellence.

The novel is described as enthralling, spellbinding, and engrossing, with a rich complexity that challenges the reader's perceptions. It is regarded as both a contemporary masterpiece and a profound reflection on capitalism and the nature of truth.
