This is a definite recommendation on my recommended list! Whether you enjoy history or graphic novels, or want to learn something new about another country, or specifically Iran, or read something out of your comfort zone, this is the book to read.

Graphic: Death, Misogyny, Torture, Violence, Religious bigotry, and War
Moderate: Confinement and Grief
Minor: Rape and Kidnapping
All graphics in the novel are in black and white. While the tags may say "graphic," no extreme details are illustrated, such as blood. Satrapi utilizes the negative space, as well as narrative block text, to highlight and talk about certain violence.anniefwrites's review against another edition

5.0
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Torture, Violence, and War
Moderate: Child death, Misogyny, Sexism, Terminal illness, Police brutality, Religious bigotry, and Death of parent
Minor: Gun violence, Hate crime, Suicide, Islamophobia, Medical content, Medical trauma, Colonisation, and Classism
Content is focused on the details of growing up during the Islamic Revolution and the ensuing war between Iran and Iraq. Images show confinement, torture, and death, but avoid outright gore.alyxinthestars's review against another edition
