[PREORDER] The Coin: A Novel
This is a preorder book, available to order from 25 June to 10 July. Estimated arrival is 2–4 weeks after the preorder period ends (it may arrive sooner!).
A single coin passes through hands and histories—and carries its own quiet weight.
In The Coin, Yasmin Zaher spins a compelling tale set across continents and generations. When a mysterious heirloom surfaces, an ancient coin once lost, the women connected to it discover that its weight measures more than money. It carries memory, heritage, and choices made long ago and far away.
Zaher’s prose is taut and immersive, moving from bustling streets to hushed ancestral homes. As family secrets slip into daylight, The Coin becomes a tapestry woven from migration, belonging, and the cost of legacy. This novel asks: what happens when your past is not just who you were, but who you can become?
