Told in verse, Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo is a mesmerising novel about one young woman's struggle to find her place in the world. For Nima, there's nowhere she feels she fits in — not with her mother, who didn't grow up in America, and not with her peers who make her feel like she's always on the outside looking in. But when Nima is confronted with the different path her life could have taken, she'll have to fight to keep the identity she's never fully accepted.
