Marjane Satrapi's 'The Sigh' published in English

Archaia has announced the English-language edition of Marjane Satrapi's The Sigh.

The Persepolis creator's latest book will be released in November.

The Sigh is a fable about a young merchant's daughter who learns about the cost of having your wishes granted.

It is already available in French and Spanish.

"The Sigh is a timeless fairytale that promises to capture the imaginations of readers both young and old," said Mark Smylie, Archaia's chief creative officer.

"Marjane is one of those rare writers who has the ability to connect with readers on a global scale and we are proud to bring this story to the US."

The Iranian-born writer and illustrator is best known for the autobiographical Persepolis, which details her childhood and early years following the Islamic Revolution.

The animated movie adaptation was nominated for an Academy Award, and Satrapi's second film, Chicken with Plums, recently premiered at the Venice International Film Festival.
