“A short, sharp novel that cuts like a scalpel to the core of its characters... Jhumpa Lahiri’s decision to translate Starnone is a tribute to the author she calls ‘the finest Italian living writer; I really feel there’s no one writing fiction as fine, as interesting, as beautiful, as powerful.’ Trust is, after Ties (2017) and Trick (2018), the third Starnone novel—each a taut, terse drama of conflicting perceptions — that the American author has brought into English... Starnone has earned a reader’s trust with another agile analysis of frail humanity.”
