I was so enamored with this (audio)book that I put off reviewing it, convinced I’d never be able to do it justice. You know what never helps me write a better review? WAITING. 🙈
Seven months into the year, My Broken Language is tied (with Turtle Diary) for my favorite book thus far. It’s got everything I love: writing about writing, a complicated spirituality, the sacred mixed with the profane, a mother-daughter relationship, humor, earnestness, and utterly gorgeous prose.
I suppose it was a little long but honestly, I could have listened forever. It’s possible I should be taking off the merest quarter of a star; I would prefer not to.
