“Mad Honey is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves.” As a beekeeper and New Englander, I loved the background and familiar setting of this story.

Marjane Satrapi returns to comics with this collaborative collection of graphic story-telling about the Iranian revolution, sparked by the state-sanctioned murder of Mahsa Amini. The range of pieces give background to Iranian history and past revolutions, the current state of Iran and women’s lives under the current regime, and the history of the feminist movement in Iran. A stunning work artistically and important piece politically and historically.

This series is designed for readers to start with any of the books or read them as they are published.
