Can one person change the course of history?
Trust centres around a Wall Street tycoon and his wife in 1920s New York. Together they rise to the top in an age of excess and speculation, becoming incredibly wealthy and successful throughout the boom and bust but then a novel is published that reveals a very different story about them. Whose version is real?
Written in four parts the story is told by four different narrators with four competing narratives. Which storyteller can be trusted and how do their individual motives shape their narrative?
I really wanted to like this book and I did make it to the end but found it really hard going. As someone who reads to relax I never want to feel a book is this much work.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize 2023 and longlisted for the Booker Prize, the critics loved this book too but it was not for me.
