Embroideries Signed First Edition Reference

Embroideries (Pantheon, 2005) records the conversations of Satrapi’s grandmother and her friends as they discuss love, marriage, sex, and the gap between public propriety and private desire in Iranian culture. The book is shorter and lighter than Persepolis but equally revealing — an intimate, often very funny portrait of women’s inner lives in a society that constrains their public expression.
