Marion Fogli

Marion Fogli has spent more than twenty years working in hospitality and Swiss finance and she cofounded the first digital private bank in Switzerland.

But what she really cares about isn't money, it's our relationship with money. That intimate, inherited, rarely named thing that quietly decides what we allow ourselves.

289 francs is her first novel.

She could have written an essay. She wrote a novel.

Because you don't change financial behaviour by reading a list of advice. Sometimes you get there by recognising yourself in a scene you believed belonged to you alone.

Twenty years of watching very different people react in almost identical ways to money taught her this: the numbers never tell the whole story. Sarah does.
