Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

5.0

---

This is a story that people need to hear. Marjane was a normal teenager going through extraordinary circumstances that war and extremism forced her to face. She is amazing. Her whole family is amazing. You're left wondering what is the right thing to do to help without making things worse for people. Wherever there is oil, you can find greedy, western meddling. Extremism is terrifying and does not represent the people just as the Trump regime does not represent me. I want the world to know I would never condone some of the things my country is doing, but I have never known what it is to be trapped like this. Not yet.

Best quote:
"The worst is that the intervention in Kuwait is done in the name of human rights!!! Which rights? Which humans?"
