I’m sure whatever I’m about to tell you about this book you’ve already read somewhere else, nevertheless, I’ll write it anyway.

Persepolis is a beautiful, honest tale, crafted with such sincerity that I found it hard not to relate to the trials and tribulations of growing up and finding a place for oneself. Even though my circumstances were wildly different from Marjane’s I was able to find a sort of kinship in her story.

Beyond that, it taught me so much about Iran, about its culture, that I think it’s somehow criminal how I didn’t pick this book up sooner.

Truly wonderful, I’m eager to discuss it with the girls from my book club.
