Book Discussion Group

"Trust" by Hernan Diaz

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP 2023-2024 

Trust by Hernan Diaz - presented by NBPL Foundation

Go tell it on the mountain book coverDecember 13

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 ends. 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.
