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.

Vulnerable. Heart breaking. Real. It feels like it invites the reader in to what should be a lovely, fun childhood that has been taken away by war, political decisions, and shines a light on how the globe affected an area that was running fine by itself before others stepped in.

The thoughts of a child are simultaneously mature and very, well, childish, growing up through such things. I find myself returning a lot to the young Marji who talks to God.
