Trust (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a stunning literary achievement that has captivated readers and critics alike—earning its place on The New York Times‘s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century and landing on Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2022. Longlisted for the Booker Prize and a New York Times Bestseller, Hernan Diaz’s Trust is the kind of book that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page.

Set against the glittering backdrop of 1920s New York and the shadow of the Great Depression, this ingeniously constructed narrative follows Benjamin and Helen Rask—a legendary Wall Street tycoon and his aristocratic wife—as they climb to dizzying heights of wealth and power. But whose story is the true one?

What makes Trust truly extraordinary is its nested structure: a novel within a novel, competing narratives that challenge everything you think you know, and one woman’s determination to uncover the truth beneath layers of carefully constructed fiction. Oprah Daily calls it “buzzy and enthralling . . . fun as hell to read,” while Esquire praises it as “a riveting story of class, capitalism, and greed.”

This is literary fiction at its finest—a brilliant puzzle that explores the nature of truth itself, the corrupting influence of wealth, and how easily power can rewrite history. Perfect for book clubs and readers who love complex, thought-provoking narratives that reward careful attention. Whether you’re browsing our shelves on a foggy morning or settling in for a rainy afternoon, this is a discovery you won’t want to miss.
