Fiction
Told in a series of vignettes stunning for their eloquence,
The House on Mango Street is Sandra Cisneros's greatly
admired novel of a young girl growing up in the Latino
section of Chicago. Acclaimed by critics, beloved by
children, their parents and grandparents, taught everywhere
from inner-city grade schools to universities across the
country, and translated all over the world, it has entered
the canon of coming-of-age classics. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, The House
on Mango Street tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose
neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty.
Esperanza doesn't want to belong--not to her rundown
neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has
for her. Esperanza's story is that of a young girl coming
into her power, and inventing for herself what she will
become.
