A great coming of age story of a girl building her NextDoorGirl A great coming of age story of a girl building her own identity and finding out what it means to be true to yourself in times of political turmoil and religious extremism in Iran.I particularly enjoyed how Satrapi depicted the emotional chaos brought by her time spent in Vienna and the challenges of feeling foreign everywhere, both at "home" and abroad.My favorite part was when she muses about all the rules Iranians had to follow for the government to leave them alone and how worrying about being . Really fantastic. Couldn't put it down Really fantastic. Couldn't put it down. If you like personal stories or have any interest in Iran and/or even the complexity of what's going on now in the Middle East, I highly recommend. It won't explain all the history, etc. to you per se, but it offers an inside account of being a child and young adult from a smart, endearing, politically aware family (and more, a family who's history is intertwined with Iranian politics) who's experiencing the effects of the Revolution throughout her childhood. its amazing. written in comic book form the story is Nathifa L.

Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed memoir-in-comic-strips.Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up.Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom--Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.
"A memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran, Persepolis provides a unique glimpse into a nearly unknown and unreachable way of life That Satrapi chose to tell her remarkable story as a gorgeous comic book makes it totally unique and indispensable."--Time
