With My Thievery of the People Marshy establishes herself as a masterful writer of intricate intergenerational plots By turns cynical and tender My Thievery of the People breaks the complacency of the everyday through shock satire and the gravitas of subtext Shafia Hafiz Ramji Literary Review of Canada

Probably my favourite short story collection of the year so far My Thievery of the people Stories is imbued with qualities both folkloric and darkly magical as well as violent and adamantly political featuring heroines aplenty Thalia Stopa Scout Book Club

A household in a Montreal suburb suffused with marital tension a dusty village in an unnamed Middle Eastern country a mysteriously archaic travelling circus My Thievery is a delightfully engrossing and aweinspiring collection that transports us from the mundane to the exotic and spaces in between all in the service of the sort of satisfying trenddefying morality tales in which the consequences of our choices can include deathor at least retribution Anita Anand A Convergence of Solitudes

This collection is exhilarating Marshy uses her distinctive style and wild strength to draw the reader at high speed from geopolitical reality to psychological peril through the inner lives of refugees queers in love and grief wives workers and so many others fighting their way out from under Elise Moser Because I Have Loved and Hidden It
