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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: William Collins\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 336\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9780008464660\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10:\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quiara Alegria Hudes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39706004389991,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780008464660.jpg?v=1651401860","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/my-broken-language-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
