In Tangier, young Lakhdar finds himself homeless after being caught
in flagrante with his cousin Meryem. As the political and religious
tensions in the Mediterranean flare up with the Arab Spring and the
global financial crisis, Lakhdar and his friend Bassam entertain
dreams of emigration, fuelled by a desire for freedom and a better
life. Part political thriller, part road-movie, part romance, the
latest novel by Mathias Enard takes us from the violence of
Tangier's streets to Barcelona's louche Raval quarter. Street of
Thieves is an intense coming-of-age story that delves deep into the
brutal realities of the immigrant experience.
