my second book on "the tumultuous political climate of Iran" (Layla's English IO 2023)
I can't begin to write about how heart-wrenching, honest, raw, introspective and informative this graphic novel was for me. it just had so many layers, so many witty quips from the narrator, and subtle symbolism that could be easy to miss. I honestly might reread it, it's that good.
