Persepolis 2: The Story Of A Return

I recently finished reading the follow-up to Persepolis with Persepolis 2: The Story Of A Return by Marjane Satrapi. The film covered both books and beyond. But I enjoyed revisiting the story of Satrapi returning home and trying to find out who she is she is. She is torn by her culture, her intellect, and her emotions. It is a story that shows warts and all. It also shows how difficult it must have been to live in such a repressive culture. It is inconceivable to me to put up with the strict Islamic laws and lack of personal freedom. I guess we take a lot for granted. Satrapi had to learn a lot of her life lessons the hard way-it must also be difficult to be so head strong and always have to do things your own way despite the consequences.
