Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi
4.25
emotional funny informative sad medium-paced
This graphic novel memoir depicts the author fleeing war in Iran to live in Europe as a teenager, and her experiences of culture shock, xenophobia and loneliness, followed by her return to Iran and struggles living under the fundamentalist regime. Like in the first novel, she is skilled at juxtaposing the banality of everyday life against the terrors of war and oppression.
