Book cover for Portrait of a Thief
Who could determine what counted as theft when museums and countries and civilizations saw the spoils of conquest as rightfully earned?

“She didn't relish being called "sweetheart," but something deep in her chimed at the word: this was a man who would let her go, if she was nice and pliant and didn't cause trouble. This was a man who wanted her to be the kind of woman who liked to hear "sweetheart," and that was a role she knew how to play.”
Sarah Gailey, Upright Women Wanted

“You can fuck right off into the Canyon," Esther said, trying to keep the grin out of her voice.

Amity tipped her hat. "I've just been waiting for an invitation," she said. "I'll go let the boss know about it. Wouldn't want to fuck off into the Canyon without giving notice.”

“Between Esther and the horizon, the wagons shimmered in the heat. She knew that they weren't an oasis— no cool shade or sweet water was waiting for her there. But they weren't a mirage, either, and that hope felt like just enough to fit in her fists.”

“Good," Esther said back, echoing Cye's words automatically because she didn't know what else to say, because you have a freckle on your bottom lip seemed like the wrong thing to say but it was the only thing she could think.”

“She let her hand linger on his shoulder for a moment as she dismounted, and she hated herself for it, for all of it. For charming him. She hated herself, because she didn't rightly know why she was bothering to do it— she didn't need anything from him other than safe and free passage in and out of Endurance. But she did it anyway, more of a compulsion than a reflex. Her speech drifted to the familiar, the ungrammatical, the helpless. She caught herself tucking her chin down, trying to make herself look just a little shy.”
