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

Persepolis really is a magnificent journey. I read this during my breaks at work and it was the first time in a while I was counting down the hours during my shift that I could get back to a book. This story touches on so much, growing up in tumultuous times, witnessing death and destruction as part of your childhood, seeing family members disappear, struggling to breathe as a girl in a deeply misogynistic society. Then Europe comes and the old challenges fade away, only to be replaced with new, more philosophical ones - trying to find your place in life, never feeling settled, and trying to adjust amidst a severe culture shock. It's an astoundingly funny and tragic work and easily one of the most fantastic autobiographies I've ever read. As a last note, the art work is great and easy to follow.
