This is the sequel to Persepolis, which follows Marjane's tumultous childhood growing up in Iran during the revolution. This book, Persepolis 2 follows Marjane when her family sends her to live in safety in France. Here Marjane is forced to fend for herself and learns about first love, homosexuality, and fitting into society. Eventually Marjane returns to visit her family back in Iran.
I found this book enormously informative, interesting, and easy to read.

A continuation of the childhood story in the first book, but more about the war in Iran. This book is very intense.
