Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return
by Marjane Satrapi
As much as I liked the first book of this series, I wasn’t so sure about this one. Being a Muslim girl, living in a Muslim country that is quite different than Iran, made it difficult for me to relate to certain decisions that were taken by Marjane, and that left me quite frustrated. As a character, I didn’t feel the growth of Marjane as a person, and I didn’t like how she hid behind the oppression to justify her actions, even though she lived in Austria and should have thought better of the choices she took. But she only owned up to her origins when she felt attacked personally and when it suited her. We’ll see how the third and fourth book goes though.
