The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself: "Are my trousers long enough?” “Is my veil in place?” “Can my makeup be seen?” “Are they going to whip me?” No longer asks herself: “Where is my freedom of thought?” “Where is my freedom of speech?” “My life, is it liveable?” “What’s going on in the political prisons?”

A beautiful graphic novel memoir about growing up in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war. It depicts the political turmoil and war through the eyes of a (pre)-teenage girl, amongst her own personal struggles and family life. It does a great job at juxtaposing the mundane with the tragic.
