My Broken Language: A Memoir by Quiara Alegría Hudes

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This was such a fascinating memoir. We're all familiar with the Nuyorican sub culture, but what Hudes was able to bring into the conversation was her intimate relationship with Taíno descendants and the religion of Santeria. Alongside a unique coming of age story, Quiara laced with beautiful metaphors, thought provoking language and syntax, touching on societal issues and societal short-comings, this book is sure to have something for readers of all types. 

I have so personal favorites but I absolutely loved when she spoke about the Perez's women and their bodies.

Required reading!
