At the Guardian she named her top ten Iranian books, including:Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane SatrapiRead about another book on the list.
These graphic stories are splendid – not just in their deceptively simple black and white drawings, but in the way Satrapi manages to tell the story of the revolution in Iran and her subsequent exile and return from the irreverent point of view of the rebellious child that she was. The history of Iran presented in her book is not exactly objective but no matter, these books are funny and moving.
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood is one of Caradoc King's top ten childhood memoirs.
