Title: Persepolis
Author: Marjane Satrapi
Genre:Memoir, Graphic Novel
I'd been meaning to read this ever since it was first released years ago but I just never did. Then B picked it up at the bookstore a few weeks ago and she breezed right through it, cooing over it the whole time.
It was a very enjoyable, quick read. It's the story of a childhood during the Iranian revolutions of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The events in Iran at the time are something I know woefully little about so it was good to pick up a little bit of historical detail and context as well as experiencing this one girl's childhood and her story.
