ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

A brilliant literary puzzle about wealth, power, marriage, truth, and who gets to control the story.

In 1920s New York, Benjamin and Helen Rask have become legendary.

Benjamin is a powerful Wall Street financier who has amassed an extraordinary fortune, while Helen is the brilliant and enigmatic daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they occupy the highest levels of New York society.

But how did they acquire their wealth—and what did it cost them?

Their story becomes the subject of Bonds, a wildly successful 1937 novel that appears to reveal the truth behind their marriage and fortune.

But that's only one version of the story.

Trust unfolds through four interconnected documents—a novel within the novel, an unfinished autobiography, a memoir, and a diary—each presenting a different version of the same people and events.

As the perspectives shift, facts that once seemed certain begin to change.

Who is telling the truth?

Who has been erased from the story?

And how much power does money give someone to rewrite reality itself?

Inventive, immersive, and full of revelations, Trust is both a sweeping portrait of wealth and ambition in early twentieth-century America and a fascinating literary mystery that asks readers to question everything they've been told.
