A young Iranian girl comes of age in war-torn Iran.
The first half of the great book by Marjane Satrapi, detailing her childhood in Iran during the revolution and her subsequent departure for study in Europe. Five star material, but go ahead and get “The Complete Persepolis”, which includes both halves in a single, inexpensive volume.

Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood" is a well crafted, insightful, and honest story of growing up in Iran. This book covers important incidents in her life in Tehran between ages six to 14, bracketing the overthrow of the Shah.
This book was originally published in France (in French?) in 2000.
I had heard of this book before, but had not heard enough to convince me to read it or buy it.
I found it for about 1/2 price used, read it, and loved it - I will definitely read the next volume.

i loved being brought into a totally foreign world only to find out how not-foreign it really is.
