Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

5.0

challenging dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

---

To say that this book is a raw emotional journey would be an understatement. I appreciate how mental illness and existential crisis are handled. My favorite parts were the historical tidbits concerning western imperialism in the Middle East. Although I felt that Marjane was being a little too hard on her classmates in university during the pill incident, it’s not their fault they don’t know any better. That situation sort of gave off western feminism, I understood the anger though.
