NOW IN PAPERBACK

“Brilliantly conceived and beautifully realized.”
— Booklist, STARRED review
“If there’s a book that speaks urgently to a time of grief, resilience, wounding loneliness, and collective hope in one of the deadliest pandemics in history, it is Vera — a work to be cherished for what it uncovers in the pages and, possibly, the heart of the reader, one that brings a traveler to ‘the other side by a surprise or a marvel or a song.’”
— Los Angeles Review of Books
“Written with distinctive and elegant prose, Edgarian paints a beautiful portrait of devastation…a character-driven novel about family, power and loyalty, ‘Vera’ ultimately asks if it’s possible to belong to another person.”
— San Francisco Chronicle

“A novel of resilience in the face of disaster, just what we need right about now. Carol Edgarian’s tale couldn’t have come at a better time.”

–T. C. Boyle
