This is a book to provoke and entertainSatrapi'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 outsidersA 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 sexyThis is Sex and the City,Middle-Eastern style - outrageous,explicit and funny
