## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet and Heartfelt and Hilarious
*by C***H on November 7, 2024*

I've been a huge fan of Marjane Satrapi ever since reading and watching Persepolis. I've also read "Chicken With Plums" and loved it just as dearly. And I can finally say that I've added this stunning work to the list of books I've read.The women in this book are all remarkable storytellers and each give a unique beautiful ring to every story they tell. The stories they share are tragic, funny, sexy, and (most of all) entertaining.Do yourself a favor: if you like cozy stories about family, sex, generational love, strong women, and topped off with beautiful illustrations, pick up Embroideries. You won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone Loves Gossip.
*by P***D on November 3, 2012*

Bottom line: Not great literature, not brilliant comic book art. If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall when women let loose, this is it.I had not read Persopolis I or II nor have I been to the new movie Chicken with Plums. I was looking to get a taste of Iranian born Parisian Marjane Satrapi. Embroideries, in hard back $6.78, $1 less than paperback was an easy decision.It is a fast read, maybe an hour, longer if you take the time to enjoy the artwork. I liked it.One could be harsh and describe this as another "women complain about men" chick flick book. There are a growing number of books about the "secret" lives of women in Iran. This is not another anything. This book, short and simple is a good read.If we need to be technical, this is a slice of life. There is no introduction and no long back story on individuals. Almost the first thing we know is that Grandma is an opium addict. We like her this way. If something so bald and forthright does not snap you to attention, not much can.The scene is a group of women, most related; taking a tea break after serving a lunch, then cleaning up and while the men folk sleep it off- The women talk, gossip and tell secrets. Almost all are about sex and while men are usually bad, the women are also silly, overly romantic and as often victims of their own weaknesses.What elevates this book is the natural flow of the dialogue and the sense that we are fully included into this family. We are Marjane Satrapi, letting her elders and betters expose their sad stories, their funny stories, and their most personal truths. Nothing is edited. Nothing is withheld. We are among friends and trusted to keep secrets. For example `Embroideries' are not exactly what you thought they were.I wanted an easy introduction to Ms. Satrapi and her graphic novels. This one did what I needed and more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny, iluminating and light hearted
*by D***E on April 1, 2013*

After lunch a group of women sit down and discuss life and marriage/men in particular. The converstaions and the situations they describe are very funny and informative as they contain the whole spectrum of views on men/women relationships among Iranians.The book is very short. Can be read in 1-2 hours. Do not expect Persepolis but get its for it own sake if you like Satrapi.Btw, I bought the kindle edition and it was not properly formatted (every other page was blank),
