Muy buen libro, me ha llenado el corazón. Recomiendo a cualquiera que lo lea. Es increíble la conexión que se siente con la autora, especialmente de niña. Te hace llorar de tristeza y de risa.

4.5

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, despite knowing very little about Iranian history. It took me out of the story a little bit at first, but the narrator revealed enough information throughout the novel, without it being a forced exposition, that I found myself more immersed in the story and knowledgable about the topic. The story itself is heartbreaking, and the author portrays the heavy emotions masterfully. I am sad to see the end of her childhood end on such a sad note, and I am even more saddened by the fact a lot of people have lived through what Satrapi has lived through, and still do to this day.

This is Marjane Satrapi’s story of growing up in Iran during the war between Iran and Iraq. It is heartbreaking and informative and I think everybody should read it. 

It is important to learn about different cultures and histories and this exemplifies that.
