Confessions Of The Fox by Rebecca Rosenberg

Set in the 18th century, this imaginative novel reimagines the life of Jack Sheppard, a notorious thief and folk hero, through a queer lens. The narrative unfolds as a modern-day academic discovers a mysterious manuscript that reveals Jack's adventures and his passionate love affair with Bess Khan, a South Asian sex worker. The story weaves together themes of identity, freedom, and resistance against oppressive systems, blending historical fiction with speculative elements to explore the fluidity of gender and the power of storytelling.
