This was almost more like a vignette than a novel - not a lot of linear plot like [b:Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood 9516 Persepolis The Story of a Childhood (Persepolis, #1) Marjane Satrapi https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1425871473s/9516.jpg 3303888] (which I LOVED). More of a brief glimpse into the lives of the women in Satrapi's family, sitting around drinking tea and talking about their former lovers, terrible marriages, good sex, bad men, and assumed innocence. A fascinating look into the secrets of one Iranian family, with some absolutely unbelievable stories.
