From the 'doyenne of the modern blockbuster' A QUESTION OF TRUST is a hugely compelling, weekend read of a novel, rich with characters, life-changing decisions, love, desire and conflict.

'There are few things better in life than the latest novel by Penny Vincenzi' Daily Express

1950s London. Tom Knelston is charismatic, working class and driven by ambition, ideals and passion. He is a man to watch. His wife Alice shares his vision. It seems they are the perfect match.

Then out of the blue, Tom meets beautiful and unhappily married Diana Southcott, a fashion model. An exciting but dangerous affair is inevitable and potentially damaging to their careers. And when a child becomes ill, Tom is forced to make decisions about his principles, his reputation, his marriage, and most of all, his love for his child.©2017 Penny Vincenzi Family Life Genre Fiction Women's Fiction Fiction Marriage

Critic reviews

The queen of the posh blockbuster returns with another chunky decade-spanning saga
With a rich cast of characters buffeted by love, betrayal and loyalty, glamour and conflict, this is Vincenzi at her best
This author never lets you down - her latest novel is superb
[A] hugely enjoyable romantic drama...lots of the period characters [that] Vincenzi does so well
A Sunday afternoon in autumn, a pot of tea, a round of toast and a new Penny Vincenzi novel - I know of no finer way to while away a few hours.
Glamorous, escapist and gloriously enjoyable
This magnificent doorstep of a book contains everything we expect from Vincenzi - glamour, passionate affairs, secrets and betrayals. Another winner

Without doubt one of the best books I have ever listened to. Penny V weaves a wonderful web of intrigue throughout the lives of her hugely believable characters exposing their personalities over decades of time. As a read it would be “unputdownable” on this occasion is is read exquisitely by Sandra Duncan which adds to the fascination of each persons life and the trials and tribulations, aspirations and failures of each of their lives. Opens up the fragility of life and its challenges in a remarkable way as we weave through the plots to the final outcomes of their “real life” - no glossing over - experiences. A masterpiece enhanced by masterful reading.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely adored this book. I have long been a fan of Penny Vincenzi and am so sad that this will be the last book of hers to enjoy. The characters are deep and evolve throughout the book, especially Tom who goes through several life changing events. I also loved the political elements to the story.
Although the book is long, it still didn’t feel long enough. The narrator is excellent too.
Definitely give this book a try, get past the first hour and you won’t be able to turn it off.
