About the Book
Even amid the glittering roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York knows the names Benjamin and Helen Rask. He’s a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she’s the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they’ve risen to the top of a world defined by opulence and speculation—but at what cost?
Their story becomes the subject of Bonds, a 1937 novel that captivates the city. Yet as Hernan Diaz’s Trust unfolds, we discover that there’s far more beneath the surface. Through shifting narratives and competing accounts, Diaz weaves an elegant and layered exploration of truth, deception, and the forces that shape both love and wealth.
At once a literary puzzle and an immersive epic, Trust challenges our perceptions of power, money, and narrative itself—inviting us to question who gets to control the story.
Come unwind after work, sip a glass of wine, and join fellow readers for thought-provoking conversation and good company.
Literature with a Twist—cheers to that!
