Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li
4.0
adventurous challenging hopeful

This was a great mix of a heist novel and social/cultural criticism. It blended both the fun of a heist with a really interesting and intimate discussion on having multiple identities, and different types of relationships with a home country. I liked all of the characters in this and, while the ending was a bit contrite, I really enjoyed it overall!
