Synopsis
In 1984 things had gotten to such a point in Iran that Marjane Satrapi's liberal-minded, forward-thinking parents shipped their 14-year-old daughter off to school in Switzerland. Although she's not forced to wear a veil or harassed by religious fundamentalists, the young woman in a foreign country faces a new swath of challenges--many common to teenagers everywhere (first loves, fitting in, dealing with authority). This is the second volume in Satrapi's compelling graphic novel memoir. Her unadorned visual style and straightforward narrative voice give the complexities of her story plenty of room, and her fearless humor and honesty make this a crushingly beautiful book.

Publisher's Note
The great-granddaughter of Iran's last emperor and the daughter of ardent Marxists continues her description of growing up in Tehran, a country plagued by political upheaval and vast contradictions between public and private life, in a memoir told in the form of a graphic novel.

Industry Reviews
"Satrapi's story is compelling and extremely complex, not simply in its windings and reversals of fortune but in its manifold ironies and acknowledged contradictions...[And] the graphic form, with its cinematic motion and its style as personal as handwriting, endows it with a combination of dynamism and intimacy uniquely suited to a narrative at once intensely subjective and world-historical."
