jmonsivais 's review for:

The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
5.0

One of my favorite books. I’ve read this at least three times now and it’s what I needed to get me through this reading slump.

A great re-read right now given our state of affairs (to put it lightly). A memoir of an Iranian woman growing up during the Islamic Revolution and Iran-Iraq 8 yr war in the form of a graphic novel. It’s an accessible way to understand the political history of the country through the lens of a girl, teenager and woman as she grows up and retells her experiences.
