Publisher Synopsis
This is a book to provoke and entertain -- Peter Millar * The Times * Satrapi's drawings are sparing and highly stylised; she is able to render nuances of expression with simple, bold strokes... The stories are wittily told and show a side of life in Iran that is unknown to outsiders -- Lydia Adetunji * Financial Times * A daring and brilliantly calculated illumination of a secret space... Though Embroideries is not a continuation of the Persepolis story, it sits at the heart of the same world - a brutally policed society where an extraordinarily rich and inventive culture still prevails, if only behind closed doors, where women are wildly subversive, funny, free-thinking and sexy -- Maureen Freely * Guardian * This is Sex and the City, Middle-Eastern style - outrageous, explicit and funny -- Kelly Knox * Time Out * Read more...

This is a work from the author of Persepolis 1 and 2. Like these two earlier works, this one is a memoir told in graphic novel form. The difference is that while in Persepolis she focused on her own childhood in Iran, in this book Satrapi focuses on the lives of the women in her family. It is an intersting look at the love lives of women in this tumultous country that is told with a warm sense of humor. The storytelling style and the drawings make it a fast and interesting read. Satrapi's work is a good intoduction to the graphic novel genre for those who have had little experience with it. This was actually the first one of her books I read. I finished it in one evening and shortly after read all her other works.
