Serena.. Sery-ously?
Dove ero io quando dovevo conoscere la Satrapi?

Io la amo già, sto aspettando trepidante che "Persepolis" arrivi a casa!

Divertente, toccante e illuminante!

Marjane sei la mia nuova eroina!!

A brief and only nominally illuminating book about the lives of contemporary Iranian women.

Fun and entertaining. I love the view into other women’s views on men and relationships.
