Astonishingly, this novel's deceptively simple graphics follow the tale of a real girl's coming to adulthood - without victimization or patronization. Not sure how many stories there are out there like that. You do learn a lot about Iran in the process of reading it, but that's merely the nutritional information, not the reason to enjoy this tasty treat. Also, the movie is not an exact adaptation - I would say the narrative is stronger and the visual elements even more compelling in the movie.

This is a collection of four stories centered on New York. It includes "False Dawn", "The Old Maid", "The Spark", and "New Year's Day". In "False Dawn" Wharton deplores the materialism and philistinism of the wealthy, dull people among whom she had grown up. "The Spark" is primarily a character sketch while "New Year's Day" is another critique of the insensitivity of Society. However, of the four novellas, my favorite is "The Old Maid". In it the beauty of Edith Wharton's writing is demonstrated as well as in any of her many novels and stories. The story chronicles the complex relationship between cousins who join together to hide the origins of an orphan. Not only the prose style, but the structure and the depiction of human relationships is exquisite. The entire collection which provides a good introduction to the work of Edith Wharton, is worth reading and rereading.
