This was so good. Persepolis tells the story of the authors childhood in Iran, the troubles that the country went through, the war, violence, religious extremism, and political upheavals. It tells of what it was like to grow up amidst all of these things, and what it was like to be sent away on your own, as a young teenager, to be educated in a ‘free’ country (in this case, Austria). It’s not over-dramatised, it’s more of a ‘this is how it was’. The pictures add so much to the story as well. What started out as a book that my son was asked to read for school, turned into a book that I read when he wasn’t reading it - and I think I enjoyed it far more 🤷🏼‍♀️
