Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

by

Marjane Satrapi

Lucia is Marjane’s roommate at the religious boarding house in Vienna. Though the girls struggle to communicate due to a language barrier—Lucia speaks only German, while Marjane only speaks French and Persian—they soon become friends. She invites Marjane to join her in the Tyrol for Christmas, and after this, Marjane begins to see Lucia as her sister. After Marjane leaves the boarding house, she never sees Lucia again.

“Do you have a problem with vacation?”

“No! But you see, at home, we had two weeks of rest for the new year and after that we had to wait until summer.”

“You’ll get used to it. Thanks to the left, there are holidays in Europe. We are not forced to work all the time [...] Come on, relax, take advantage! You don’t even know Bakunin!”

[...]

This cretin Momo wasn’t altogether wrong. I needed to fit in, and for that I needed to educate myself.
