Just when Susanna is struggling to revive her creative career, a devastating accident rips apart the fabric of her world, exposing secrets which threaten to destroy both a marriage, and a life.

Reviews

This book leads the reader on an interesting journey, beginning with the introduction of Susanna, a woman who behaves like a stereotypical middle-class Australian suburban housewife. The less dominant within the domestic partnership, Susanna has the handsome, successful husband, two teenage children, and a close and loving extended family. There exists a rather normal amount of family discontent and it doesn't take long for the unease between the relationships to surface. Then, in chapter 21 and set against the backdrop of the 2009 Victorian bushfires, a tragedy occurs. This allows the reader to develop a new relationship with the characters and in particular that of Susanna. In so many ways, Veitch's writing is unremarkable. She tackles the everyday and the mundane reality of life. The relationships and the characters that she has developed are not extraordinary, but this adds to the charm of the story. It is believable and it is tangible. Her dialogue is credible and not laboured, and her setting is timely for her Australian audience. An enjoyable read, Trust is far from challenging but is by no means lightweight, and is likely to be preferred by the female reader. Fiona Edwards is a journalist, writer and teacher, currently tutoring and writing in Canberra
