A beautiful book that made me very emotional. The bittersweet events that are being told in a very warm context cannot but touch the heart deeply.
I finished the book in one read and hugged it when I was done as if I am hugging Nasser Ali.
Beautiful as usual from Marjane Satrapi.

A painful reminder of how terribly people can behave when their heart is broken. Didn't touch me as deeply as other Satrapi works though.

Bastante corto, pero bastante emotivo. Al menos, así lo sentí yo.

Un cómic muy interesante que explorar como la tristeza puede ganarnos la batalla tanto así que perdemos el sentido de la vida misma.

Tanr bueno como persépolis, aunque mucho más corto pero con esa misma escencia de la autora y su incomparable forma de narrar.

Conhecia a autora do livro Persepolis e, apesar deste ser um registo diferente (menos autobiográfico, apesar de contar a história de um familiar), gostei muito deste livro também. A história é muito curtinha, um pouco trágica, mas muito bem contada.

Could be good for students: it’s short, but packs a punch in terms of painting a picture of changes in Iranian culture across the century, romance, and family life.

Some nudity, suicidal ideation.
