Chicken with Plums by Marjane Sarpati

This book was a real treat. It's a poignant story of an Iranian tar player who dies, and is unusual because it's a graphic novel. Definitely following in the footstops of Where the Wind Blows rather than Superman. The story covers the week or so leading up to the narrator's death ... Very beautiful, very moving. Five stars. Go and buy it now! (Or at least borrow it from a library or something!)
