“…for being an impeccable narrative construction, an agile and precise story about a family broken by violence and silence. An intimate archaeology based on various resources of memory such as photographs, lists and personal definitions. Among the Broken is an intelligent and emotional novel that reflects on the way emotions have been transformed at the beginning of the 21st century.” – The Jury: Cristina Rivera Garza, Fernanda Melchor, Julián Herbert, Andrés Ramírez.
“…a female voice talking about issues that women have begun to talk about little by little: violence within the family, not only physical but also psychological, and the way in which these patterns of violence develop with parents, siblings. A very emotional and very well achieved novel.” – Fernanda Melchor
“A tremendous novel!” – Brenda Navarro
