Persepolis ended on a cliffhanger in 1984, just as fourteen-year-old Marjane was leaving behind her home in Tehran, escaping fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in the West. Here we follow our young, intrepid heroine through the next eight years of her life: an eye-opening and sometimes lonely four years of high school in Vienna, followed by a supremely educational and heartwrenching four years back home in Iran. Just as funny and heartbreaking as its predecessor - with perhaps an even greater sense of the ridiculous inspired by life in a fundamentalist state - Persepolis 2 is also as clear-eyed and searing in its condemnation of fundamentalism and its cost to the human spirit. In its depiction of the universal trials of adolescent life and growing into adulthood - here compounded by being an outsider both abroad and at home, and by living in a state where you have no right to show your hair, wear make-up, run in public, date, or question authority - it's raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51476024131872,"sku":"NEW0224074407","price":27.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51476024164640,"sku":"USED0224074407","price":28.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mitLKcGzL.jpg?v=1776027122","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/persepolis-2-the-story-of-a-return-0224074407","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
