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.

PREMIO PULITZER 2023. Un deslumbrante puzle literario: la misteriosa historia de un magnate de los años veinte en varias versiones que se complementan o contradicen. En los triunfales años veinte, Benjamin Rask y su esposa Helen dominan Nueva York: él, un magnate financiero que ha amasado una fortuna; ella, la hija de unos excéntricos aristócratas. Pero a medida que la década se acerca a su fin, y sus excesos revelan un lado oscuro, a los Rask empiezan a rodearlos las sospechas.

Am Anfang steht das Geld. Und ein Mann, der es zu vermehren versteht wie kein Zweiter. In der schillernden New Yorker Finanzwelt der 20er-Jahre wächst Benjamin Rasks Vermögen ins Unermessliche. Aber erst seine Ehe mit der geheimnisvollen Helen gibt seinem Leben Sinn. Bald vibriert die ganze Stadt vor Gerüchten um das enigmatische Paar, und mit der Zeit beginnen die vielen Erzählungen die Wahrheit über die Eheleute zu verschleiern. Bis sich eine unerwartete Stimme in dem Gewirr Gehör verschafft.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

Dopo la pubblicazione di un romanzo mendace e offensivo sulla sua vita, il ricchissimo finanziere Andrew Bevel, diventato milionario dopo alcune speculazioni seguite al crollo in Borsa del ’29, assume la giovane Ida Partenza, figlia di un anarchico italiano, perché lo aiuti a scrivere un’autobiografia in grado di raccontare finalmente la verità sui suoi successi e sulla sua defunta moglie, Mildred. Ida intuisce presto che nemmeno dalla sua penna, strettamente controllata dal committente, uscirà il ritratto fedele di una donna complessa la cui reale personalità continua a sfuggirle.
