Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li is cinematic in the best possible way. This enthralling novel is at once a story about Chinese-Americans grappling with their cultural identity, and a fast-paced, globe-trotting art heist where the stakes couldn't possibly be higher. When Harvard senior Will Chen is approached by a shadowy organisation to steal back five Chinese sculptures from western museums, he says yes and gets to work assembling a crew. However, if he fails, it means he and his friends will lose everything they've worked so hard for. But if they pull it off? Then they'll be righting a cultural wrong that's been allowed to stand for far too long.
