How lucky we are to have her telling our stories.\" - Lin-Manuel Miranda                                From the Pulitzer-prize winning playwright behind IN THE HEIGHTS comes a spellbinding coming-of-age story, and a vibrant and life-affirming celebration of the women who guide us.                       Born in Philadelphia to a Jewish father and an enigmatic Puerto Rican mother, Quiara Alegr�a Hudes had a love-and-trouble-filled upbringing, haunted by the unspoken, untold family secrets of the barrio. In the face of real world wounds, the powerful, Orisha-like women of her family possessed a strength, joy and sensuality that left a young Quiara awe struck. She vowed to tell their stories.             But confronted by a world that treated her like an outsider, Quiara knew she must find a new language, one which reflected the multiple cultures that raised this Puerto Rican child of North Philly. Written and spoken, English and Spanish, sacred and profane - as her search for a way to share her family's story deepened, an artist emerged, ready to speak her truth.             An inspired exploration of home, family and memory, My BROKEN LANGUAGE is the story of a sharp-eyed observer who finds her voice and learns to boldly tell the stories that only she can tell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731417579896,"sku":"9780008464660","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780008464660.jpg?v=1794247661","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780008464660","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
