Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

4.25

Despite having to read Persepolis as an assigned reading, I enjoyed this book immensely. Reading about such a tragic and multi-faceted situation as Iranian society throughout revolution and war but from the perspective of a young girl gives the novel that naive and childlike flair that leaves you reflecting after each vignette. I found that the more tragic ones were even more haunting in the simple, yet effective art style.
