Home Is a Stranger by Parnaz Foroutan Book Review

Name: Jessica
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A Twisted, Beautiful Version of How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2020
Review: Parnaz has a gift for storytelling which makes Love is a Stranger an easy read. But I found myself wondering, who is this relatively young woman, and how does she have the audacity to write a memoir? Was she a prime minister? Did she uncover the secret worlds of primates in remote jungles? Did she tour the world filling up concert halls? She did not. So why would anyone care about the story of an Iranian immigrant girl, who left a sheltered life in the suburbs to take a couple short trips to Iran and ultimately come back?

Parnaz answers back powerfully with the gift of her prose and her poetry, “The colors of that afternoon appear hazy in my memory, like faded Polaroid. Muted sunlight, a faint blue pool, the slowly erased familiarity of a handsome man’s face…” Parnaz answers back with vivid portraits of far off lands and adventures. Through her words you can smell the Caspian sea, enter the remote tents of proud mountain people, see the bright colors of Iranian bazaars, and even have glimpses of paradise.

Her love and her pride fuel her through chapter after chapter of triumph and tragedy. Through her sensitive, observant lense you are taken on an epic adventure. Under the surface there is a Homeric epic. She is writing a personal Shahnameh with valiant heroes and sniveling cowards. She is a Han Solo figure, enjoying life while taking on an authoritative Iran regime no less oppressive than the Galactic Empire. A rebel figure, letting her bravery get her into trouble in the name of justice.

Inspired by tales of the mythic Iranian mountains by her uncle Behrooz, Parnaz decides to leave her unsatisfying life in Los Angeles and connect to her deceased father by rediscovering his homeland. This is not a decision to be taken lightly for a 24 year old girl. Since the Iranian Revolution, Iran has become a conservative hell where women can be imprisoned for not walking with a guardian or disappear for exposing an ankle. But she is compelled to leave- in America her identity is riddled with confusion and shame as she struggled to be accepted by her peers as an immigrant girl in a conservative suburb. Maybe among her Iranian cousins she will have her homecoming.

The adventure begins when she arrives in Iran where she meets with her cousins Pouya and Javid. She goes with them to secret house parties (hidden from the Iranian moral police) where they are up all night, smoking, playing music, debating philosophy and making poetry. She finds romance and forbidden love on the shores of the Caspian Sea. She passes proud Kurdish men with thick mustaches and colorful scarves. She discovers an ancient Zoroastrain fire temple, and collapses of exhaustion on the edge of the unforgiving cliffs of the Alborz mountains. All of this happening in the context of an oppressive Iranian dictatorship that constantly tries and sometimes succeeds in oppressing her.

It's a beautiful and brutal coming of age story. The stark contrast between the void of her old life and the love and lust for her ancient homeland. Love, loss, betrayal, beauty, tragedy. It's all there in these pages. Written with love and authenticity.

Why should you care? Because Home is a Stranger is an homage to that tender time in a person's life when they discover themselves. Home is a Stranger will reconnect you to the lost youthful narrative that you put aside for so long to pay the bills that you forgot it was there. Even an “ordinary” life is an extraordinary experience. It is a reminder of the Talmudic quote, “Whoever saves a single life is considered to have saved the whole world” because in the richness of her way of describing her surroundings, you remember that each person is a world.

I walked away from this book refreshed. Like I had re-lived the exciting time of my early 20s through a kindred spirit. I walked away with a renewed sense of love and gratitude for life.

Title: Wonderful and engaging!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2020
Review: This is an amazing story of a young woman’s struggle to find herself in the face of two tragic times in her life, the untimely death of her father and a very serious health issue. Her adventures show the sharp contrasts between her American upbringing and the country of her birth, Iran.

Title: Important Read

Review: To really understand how it feels to be an immigrant you have to try to see through the eyes of one. This book is a beautifully written, honest memoir that will open your eyes, heart and mind!

Title: Very interesting, in a number of ways
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2020
Review: I found this book very interesting. It was enlightening to read about real people in Iran, as opposed to what you read in the news. Especially the parts when they went out to the countryside. Her first book, The Girl from the Garden, was very good also, but was fiction. I was fascinated how this girl raised in L.A. could just up and do all those things! I appreciated her writing style also. I recommend it to anyone.
