ADVANCE PRAISE FOR MY BROKEN LANGUAGE 'Quiara Hudes is in her own league. Her sentences will take your breath away. How lucky we are to have her telling our stories.' - LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA 'Enormously empathetic and funny . The language throughout is gorgeous and so moving. I love this book.'- ANGIE CRUZ, author of Dominicana 'A masterclass on how we might all find the courage to tell our own stories on our own terms.' - KIMBERLY DREW, author of This is What I Know About Art and Black Futures 'A gut-punch of a memoir.


Hudes beautifully captures the richness and complexity of her Puerto Rican-American family, and in so doing opens up profound questions around belonging and the bonds of love we all grapple with. This book is a force of creative energy.' - JOANNA POCOCK, author of Surrender 'Visceral, riotous, and cathartic. To have a foot in two cultures, to live in the divide, to capture such experiences with such astonishing ferocity, originality and attention to detail - well, to read Hudes' Broken Language was a kind of baptism. A woman's journey to find her voice has never been rendered so powerfully. I can honestly say I grew as a writer from reading it.' - JINI REDDY, author of Wanderland 'An extraordinary, beautiful and deeply moving memoir.With their hope and resilience, the Perez women teach us how to build a well of support that lasts a lifetime, fuelling unique artistic journeys.


I know I will treasure this book, and return to it whenever I feel in need of creative sustenance.' - SOPHIE HARDACH, author of Confession with Blue Horses 'Quiara Hudes has created a must-read book that is difficult to put down. Her generous intimacy causes us all to examine--and honor--our families' broken languages that create a rich, emotional legacy for the people we become.' - PAULA VOGEL, Pulitizer Prize-winner.
