Persepolis, The Story Of A Childhood

by Marjane Satrapi

Review:
Marjane Satrapi's wise, historical, and inspiring memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. This is a powerful black-and-white comic strip, which tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen. Not only a coming of age story, but a great way to expose others to the devastating effects of the war with Iraq. Funny and depressing at the same time, a must read that keeps you wanting more.
