Naturally, the subject turns to love, sex and the vagaries of men. As the afternoon progresses, these vibrant women share their secrets, their regrets and their often outrageous stories about, among other things, how to fake one’s virginity, how to escape an arranged marriage, how to enjoy the miracles of plastic surgery and how to delight in being a mistress. By turns revealing and hilarious, these are stories about the lengths to which some women will go to find a man, keep a man or, most important, keep up appearances. Full of surprises, this introduction to the private lives of some fascinating women, whose life stories and lovers will strike us as at once deeply familiar and profoundly different from our own, is sure to bring smiles of recognition to the faces of women everywhere—and to teach us all a thing or two. Review: Great comics - Very light and funny. Women look on men, marriage, love. Very relatable and funny. Amazing how they from Iran and I from Ukrain can have so similar views on things Review: Sweet and Heartfelt and Hilarious - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #351,191 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #371 in Contemporary Women Graphic Novels (Books) #374 in Biographies & History Graphic Novels #574 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 815 Reviews | ## Images ![Embroideries (Pantheon Graphic Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71shL0Vuf0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great comics *by K***E on June 21, 2026* Very light and funny.

You won't regret it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ though it's more like a book of short stories *by C***E on September 21, 2014* Embroideries is categorized as a memoir, though it's more like a book of short stories, told by different female characters living in Iran, done in Marjane's usual graphic novel style. Marjane and her family and a few friends are sitting down to tea to gossip after lunch while the men nap. These women relate stories about past or present relationship issues and I think that most female readers will find that they've done something similar with their own family or friends. I can't really describe the plot because each little tale has it's own - but they range from cheating husbands, old lovers, sexual experiences, marriage and more. This is definitely not a book intended for children. I found myself laughing out loud several times, especially when the women are discussing the male anatomy. As the blurb on the book says, these stories "will strike us as at once deeply familiar and profoundly different from our own" and I'm inclined to agree. I enjoyed this little book very much and would recommend it to most - as long as you have a sense of humor and don't mind people discussing sex and the naked body. ## Frequently Bought Together - Embroideries - Woman, Life, Freedom - Chicken with Plums --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/3599986-embroideries-pantheon-graphic-library](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/3599986-embroideries-pantheon-graphic-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
