I was blown away by how absolutely captivating and moving this story is. I knew next to nothing about the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and this book does a great job being historically informative but also showing the human-side to the issue. So often when we think about or are exposed to such historical events that are outside of our own nation, we do not think about how real life people were changed, put in danger, and had to adapt to a new way of living. The use of only black and white was an expert choice that forces readers to focus on the story. I'm excited to purchase and read Volume 2, and I wish I had read this much sooner!
