milleravalon 's review for:
The Complete Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
(I would like to issue some trigger warnings for those who may want to read this - there's drug use, suicide mentions/ an attempt, and horrors of war, namely death)
It was very nice to reread this (I read it first four-ish years ago in high school) when I am older and can understand some of the things more while remaining somewhat critical. Overall it was a beautiful memoir and I felt a lot for Marjane and what she had to witness and endure.
The first half centers around her childhood, growing up in Iran in the midsts of a revolution. The second half primarily is her life as a teenager living in Austria and the troubles she faces there, before returning to Iran. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone curious about the subject or someone who simply wants to enjoy a graphic novel about a resilient young woman.
