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.

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.

Persepolis is a powerful read. As someone unfamiliar with the landscape of Iran, some of the town and city names were a little challenging to keep track of, but that doesn't take away from the impact of the story.
