A Mirror Garden: A Memoir by Monir Farmanfarmaian, Zara Houshmand

5.0

This is a beautiful memoir/biography about an Iranian artist who broke all kinds of boundaries as a woman. Monir and collaborating writer chronicle her enchanting childhood through two marriages, two children, artistic commissions, friendship with Andy Warhol and others, and the Iranian revolution. The book is filled with lush descriptions of Iran, particularly folk art of various regions of the country. Highly recommend!
