dark informative

5.0

this is the memoir of a woman who grew up in Iran during the Islamic revolution, and as such it does have a lot of dark subject matter. Still, it has moments of hope, beauty, and even humor in a bleak situation, such as her relationship with her grandmother and some of her friends. The illustrations are effective at conveying the peoples emotions and enhance the story. This book should be read to better understand the background of many Iranian people and their struggles.
