Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi
I really like that this a stronger story for being told in graphic form (in particular the use of clothes and the various portrayals of wearing the veil were fascinating and effective) than if it had been a simple memoir.
I also noticed that characters that would require much more screen time in a memoir or novel (such as the grandmother) can be featured in just a few panels and through drawing, brief exposition and dialogue really come to life.
Very good. I'm glad I found it on the shelves of my local library -- I was perusing the graphic novel/comics section and just not seeing anything that interested me until I found this. I'll have to track down the first one.
