I highly recommend this
graphic novel. It's amazing! I like it because the book is about Iran in the 1980s
before and after the Islamic Revolution.
The book tells the story from the point of view of a young girl of a current Iranian family who experiences personal changes because of the Revolution. I found the art simple enough to understand the feelings of the characters without getting me dizzy (I don't like too many drawings). I also found the story relevant because it’s about an event that still has an impact upon Iran and upon the world today. Iran is still an Islamic Republic and I have met Iranian friends who left the country because of the politics there.
