No closer to find her place in the world she makes her way home four years later guilty and ashamed for leaving her struggling family and country. In this new western environment she tries to be many things including her true self but fails to do so. Her, relatively liberal parents eventually send her to Vienna so she may continue school without religious intervention. Laws are made that test her faith and identity.
At this pivotal age she is faced with extreme change as the government forces religious fundamentalism onto its people. The book opens to Satrapi as a 10-year-old girl facing the beginning of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
Marjane Satrapi’s book, The Complete Persepolis, is an incredible coming of age autobiography revealing the immense struggles a young and rebellious Iranian girl endures as she too desperately searches her identity.
