Part one of Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel [Persepolis (Pantheon, 2003) – see excerpt] found her surviving war, the Islamic Revolution, religious oppression and the execution of several close friends. If part two [Persepolis 2 (Pantheon, 2004)] covers less traumatic events, it's also more subtle and, in some ways, more moving.
