I was going to post an image of the book cover, but came across this portrait of the author and loved it. I found Embroideries on the library shelf when I was looking for Marbles. I'd read Marjane's Satrapi's other graphic novels, but Embroideries, published in 2005, flew below my radar.
It clocked in at under half an hour, making it a very quick read. And what a gem. A friendly invitation to perch at the perimeter of a gathering of Iranian women "ventilating their hearts". This book made me feel part of a large, warm, very much connected tribe.
Peace and love.
