The Sigh

By Marjane Satrapi

56pp., 8x6.5, hard cover, color

From the author of Persopolis, Marjane Satrapi, The Sigh is an all-ages fairy tale of longing, loyalty, and contentment. Rose, the youngest daughter of a wealthy merchant, asks her father for a rare gift from his travels. When his search proves fruitless, her sigh of resignation attracts a mysterious being who grants her desire, but at a cost. Gruesome, romantic, and wise, The Sigh beautifully illustrates the meaning of devotion and love.
