Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

About: Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's unforgettable graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Through the eyes of a spirited young girl, readers witness the dramatic transformation of her country, the impact of war and political repression, and the everyday struggles of a family determined to preserve hope, humour, and individuality. As Marjane comes of age, she must navigate exile, identity, and belonging while remaining deeply connected to her homeland. Both intensely personal and profoundly political, Persepolis has become one of the defining graphic memoirs of the twenty-first century.
