Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi was a continuation of the stories we got to see in the first edition. This book continued to press the boundaries of what it means to grow up in the middle of a war. This book dove a little deeper into the impact of the war on Marjane, and how it affected her development as she got older. I think these two books paint an incredibly important picture of the personal hardships suffered by individuals in war torn countries. These books deal beautiful with the complex and challenging emotions they bring up, and I think that reading the pair is well worth everyone’s time.
