Who’s Marjane Satrapi? In Persepolis The Story Of A Childhood by Marjane Satrapi tells a story of a young girl named Marjane growing up in Tehran, Iran during the Islamic revolution. You see her grow up from a small girl to a grown woman; the author illustrates this story in comic book form. The three main characters are Marjane, her father and mother.

I recommend this book to people who like history because it has lots of information about the Islamic revolution and people who would like a good
