Nature cannot be stopped, blood cannot be corrected...
In the back room of a family pharmacy where life is measured by the rigidity of chemical formulas and the weight of a bronze scale, Don Andrés Andrade has engineered the destiny of his only son. Simón must be the heir to the apothecary, the continuation of the lineage, and the great man that patriarchal pride demands.
Yet the human soul is not a compound that can be manipulated at will.
Set between the gloom of a mahogany house and the luminous exile of Paris and New York during the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s, The Broken Scale is a moving chronicle of identity, the grief of fragmented families, the memory of forgotten victims, and the inalienable pursuit of freedom.
