Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi
5.0
Again, I am kicking myself. This time, for not immediately reading this part of Persepolis. This was wonderful.
I enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed the first. Satrapi brings complete life to her friends and family and the people who were mere footnotes on her life. I loved the art, I loved the language used and by extension I loved the translation, and I love the complete honesty she uses within the context of talking about her life. This manages to be emotional and have a sense of humour and to give me a taste of what it's like to have lived in that place and time.
I loved seeing Marji grow from the spunky kid in the first part to a mature young woman. It was a joy to see how she made it through those years. While not always a perfect person, I always cheered for her.
It once gave me a thirst for more knowledge of the middle east, something I lack.
I enjoyed both parts of Persepolis and I would recommend this to anyone.
