Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Very touching story. I liked that Satrapi as an author did not put a strong editorial spin. We see the political and social changes from the point of view of her child-self, with an emphasis on the hypocrisy and well intentions of those around her. In this way she manages to keep the narrative uncluttered, yet still very engaging. I read this book in a few hours, it was riveting. I would recommend it to anyone who would like a high impact but fairly simple narrative.
