Recommended by Anya
’Persepolis, a graphic memoir written by Marjane Satrapi, is a coming of age story about a young girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. This beautifully illustrated book retells her experience of living in a country undergoing significant political and cultural shifts.’
From the publisher
The brilliant graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution.
Marjane Satrapi lived through the Iranian Revolution as a little girl. This is her classic memoir-in-comic-strips, the story of a child entangled in the history and politics of her country. It paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up in revolutionary and war-torn Iran, in a family that was both outrageous and ordinary, beset by tragedy and yet buffered by love. Funny, wise, ultimately heartbreaking and told with unforgettable pictures.
'A revelation...you will remember it for a very long time' Mark Haddon
'The magic of Marjane Satrapi's work is that it can condense a whole country's tragedy into one poignant, funny scene after another' Independent on Sunday
