COIN (YASMIN ZAHER) (FOOTNOTE PRESS) (PB)

A bold and unabashed novel about a young Palestinian woman's unravelling as she teaches at a New York City middle school, gets caught up in a scheme reselling Birkin bags, and strives to gain control over her body and mind. In enthralling, sensory prose, The Coin explores nature and civilisation, beauty and justice, class and belonging - all while resisting easy moralising.
