Satrapi presented the childhood of war and revolutions through herself -- one being a rebel against what was going on. This was such an empowering read, with laughs and cries throughout the whole story.

this is one of my favourite novels by Jane Austen, and Anne Elliot is such a loveable character and reading this close to her age was really interesting -- especially when thinking about the historical context associated with the Regency Era.
