I just found two more books by Marjane Satrapi. Embroideries is all about the sex lives of woman in Iran and an embroidery is when a woman gets 're-virgin-ized' before she gets married. Her stuff gets sewn together to make sure she bleeds and does not get honor killed. Included are the sexually frustrated wife, the wise grandmother with a checkered past and the artist that feels the strain of breaking convention tug at her soul.
Chicken with Plums is about her uncle and is set over nine dys in 1958 with flashbacks to events leading up to the event.
