The award-winning movie was based on this graphic novel about a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. A funny and heartfelt story that follows a young Marjane from a child in Iran to a woman finding her own path in life and the war in between.

Satrapi's edgy but sweet memoir recounts the author's coming-of-age during the Islamic Revolution. Both as a child and as a young adult, she challenges the Regime, especially after a few years in Austria leaver her frustrated, conflicted, and progressive. This look under the Veil will startle you while making you laugh.
