My Broken Language: A Memoir by Quiara Alegría Hudes

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but I absolutely loved it. Hudes has such a way with words (if you didn’t know from her book work for In the Heights and Vivo). She expressed a uniquely American experience, but also one that’s unique to her and her Puerto Rican family, while finding that commonality of the human experience we can all connect. I’m not sure how much more talented this woman could be! My only complaint is I prefer a more linear narrative (it’s a mixture). Come for the beautiful storytelling, stay for the learning experience.
