At the opening of the book, Marjane, or ‘Marji,’ is ten years old. It’s the year after the Iranian Revolution and although her family has always been secular, Marji must wear a veil and attend a religious, girls-only school. She’s imaginative, but doesn’t really understand what’s happening. She gives us a child’s-eye view of the country’s history, from its glorious past as the Persian city of Persepolis to the tumultuous events leading up to the present moment. Gradually, her family helps her make sense of what’s going on around her. Violence is a daily event as protests fill the streets. When her beloved Uncle Anoosh returns, Marji finds out that he had fought as a revolutionary and spent time in prison.

The country becomes more religious. Marji’s mother comes home one day, frightened after having been accosted for not wearing a veil. Iraq begins bombing Tehran and the family has to spend time in a bomb shelter. It’s so bad that a neighboring Jewish family is killed one day during an intense attack. During all this, Marji tries to be a normal teenager. She likes punk music and American clothes, but she frightens her parents when she buys them on the black market.
