Bordados by Marjane Satrapi

trin's review against another edition

4.0

A series of vignettes, almost, about women's lives in Iran, connected by bridging segments of after-dinner tea and conversation with Satrapi's mother, grandmother, and their relatives and friends. The embroideries of the title do NOT have to do with arts and crafts, but rather refer to what some Iranian women do to, um, regain their virginities. (OW!) This book is seemingly lighter than either volume of [book: Persepolis], but there's an underlying weight and seriousness, and Satrapi as usual is great at conveying character and telling stories. I only wish it had been longer.

Existe um nível de mestria necessário para conseguir fazer de uma tarde de conversas uma obra de arte. Aqui esta ela.
