Strangely, perhaps, I think I enjoyed this more than the first. This second volume picks up where the first left off: Marjane is going to be leaving Iran and going to Vienna to study, without her parents. This book follows her from age 14 through her early 20s, and covers a lot of ground. From being...
In this volume, the war in Iran is over, and after several generally unhappy and difficult years in Austria, Marjane decides to go home. As expected, she struggles with fitting in in Tehran—she did not experience the war years, she must stay covered in public, and women have few rights. But she make...
I was surprised by the number of bad reviews for this. I thought it was great. If you're expecting a basic reiteration of the first book, then you'll be disappointed. The first book was captivating for somewhat different reasons. It told the story of the Islamic Revolution through a child's eyes. Th...
I was looking for 'Persepolis' by the same author, but as it was not available, I picked this one up instead. I found the title quaint, and it turns out that it is a name of an Iranian dish. It has a shadowing of moroseness (the central character's), but it is balanced out by the telling and drawing...

It’s not my favorite form of storytelling, but I’ve been lucky because the 2 I’ve read so far I’ve enjoyed. The Rabbi’s Cat is 3 different stories in one book- ‘The Bar Mi...
When I came back to the library to look for Persepolis 2, I couldn't find it any more, but I stumbled on another graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi: Chicken with Plums.This is the story of Satrapi's great-uncle Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most famous musicians, who takes to bed after realizing that...
I was awaiting eagerly the possibility to read Persepolis 2: Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi, the second volume of her autobiography in the form of graphic novels.In Persepolis, we left Marjane as she was about to leave Iran for Austria to attend a French secondary school. As Persepolis 2 opens...
