I wanted to love and respond more to Home is Not a Country than I did. I appreciate poetry and books in prose but I didn't like the majority of this book. The narrative could be hard to follow as the author merged imagination and reality together. The main themes of grief and alienation were present from beginning to end. I enjoyed Nima's growth through the narrative, seeing how she evolved was the best part of Home is Not a Country. I wished I could have loved it more.
