1 | Review|Novel – “Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi
My best friend gifted me this novel three years back when I was moving cities. In all the craze of unpacking, the novel got lost in all my stuff. Recently while packing to move again, I found the book hidden in a corner. “Persepolis” is an illustrated novel written by Marjane Satrapi about the revolution…
