My Broken Language By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Feb 12, 2024 
My Broken Language by Quiara Alegría Hudes is a lyrical memoir that weaves together the author’s coming-of-age story against the backdrop of an ailing Philadelphia barrio. Her sprawling, idiosyncratic Puerto Rican family serves as a collective muse throughout her journey. Quiara Alegría Hudes, a sharp-eyed girl observing her family’s dance in her grandmother’s tight North Philly kitchen, is haunted by the family’s secrets and the unspoken stories of the barrio.
As she navigates the sea of language around her—both written and spoken, English and Spanish—she vows to tell their stories. But first, she must find her voice and join the dance. With a love for books and the lessons of her family, this memoir explores themes of home, memory, and belonging.
