“A love story, a coming-of-age novel, and a call to action. The Rebel and the Thief is a compelling tale of our time set during a global pandemic in a nonspecific location. Its themes are universal even though we see the specific impact of the disease on one young man. He is confronted with the moral challenge that all people face on planet Earth: accept the suffering brought about by humanmade systems of oppression and privilege—or break the rules to alleviate some of that suffering. As in life, there are no simple answers in this story, only difficult choices to be made.” —Laila Ibrahim, bestselling author of Yellow Crocus
