Satrapi's follow up to the 2 Persepolis books is another graphic novel. This one focuses on the private lives of Iranian women. It is a much quicker read than either Persepolis. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I like Persepolis 1 & 2. I attended an author appearance by Satrapi while she was promoting this book. She's a captivating storyteller.

Women talking without men around is a gift, especially if they’re not working at the time.

İranlı kadınlarla gün yapmak eğlenceliydi. bir mesaj verme amacının olmadığı belli ama bazı hikayeler nereden başladı, nasıl bitti anlayamamış gibi hissediyorum. bittikten sonra, öylesine bir ana şahit olmuşum gibi hissettim.

Such an enlightening comparison of women's experiences in Iran vs the Western world, especially relating to love, sex and marriage. The story flowed so cohesively, I really felt like I was sitting in a living room full of women on a Sunday afternoon swapping stories.

This book is way too funny, I enjoyed the stories of all the women. Alas, it was a super quick read and part of me wish there was more.
