Vera, Or Faith by Gary Shteyngart
Ten-year-old Vera Bradford-Shmulkin narrates a tender, often funny portrait of her mixed-heritage family as they cope with personal strains and a country in flux. Observant and hopeful, Vera wants a friend at school, for her parents to stay together, and to meet her birth mother, while her cash-strapped father, overburdened mother, and confident older brother navigate shifting loyalties and identities. Told through Vera’s clear perspective, the novel examines family, belonging, and the search for stability.
