Praise
“Tantalizing … Bold, bewitchingly humorous and politically astute … A cheeky and knowing peek at the loves, sexual histories and marital secrets of … these beautiful and seductive women.”
—Elle
“Endearing … A wicked read.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Humorous and bawdy … An amusing portrayal of independent women taking life in stride.”
—The Village Voice
“Embroideries is as funny, opinionated, controversial and surprising as any good comic or conversation should be.”
—Time.com
“Subversive … Satrapi’s book is a mocking rebuke to the cult of chastity, and a statement about the way human passions find their way around the most determined repression.”
—Salon
“By turns bawdy and heartbreaking … Of all Satrapi’s books, Embroideries most effectively tears down the divide between Iranian and American culture, showing how women everywhere are similar.”
—The Capital Times (Madison)
