About this product

Product Information

A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago * Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world--from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. "Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one." -- The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. "In English my name means hope," she says. "In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes--sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous--Cisneros's masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis's Main Street or Toni Morrison's Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one's story and of being proud of where you're from.

Great book for a bored mind
Written by Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is an excellent book for anyone who wants another reading materiel before their favorite book's next volume. The House on Mango Street is about a year in the life of a girl named Esperanza who is a Chicana or Mexican-American she is about twelve years old when the novel begins. During the story, she and her family moves into a house on Mango Street. The house is a big improvement from the family’s previous home, which is an apartment, and it is the first home her parents actually own. However, the house is not what Esperanza has dreamed of, due it is run-down and small state. The house is in the center of a crowded Latino neighborhood in Chicago, a city where many of the poor areas are racially segregated. Esperanza does not have any ...

However, the house is not what Esperanza has dreamed of, due it is run-down and small state. The house is in the center of a crowded Latino neighborhood in Chicago, a city where many of the poor areas are racially segregated. Esperanza does not have any privacy from her family or the outside world, and she concludes that she will someday leave Mango Street and have a dream house all her own. I personally believe that the book is excellent and has a few dark turn here and there. I would recommend anyone who like to read about Mexican American life

Don't miss this sweet, unforgettable book!
The House on Mango Street is one of those books you never forget reading. It is a sweet, sweet wisp of a book. The story is about Esperanza, a girl growing up in the United States in the very poor inner-city. Although some of Esperanza's difficulties are encountered only by those growing up Hispanic, almost all situations can be felt deeply by all who read it. The book is stunningly told with its quirky language and sentiment (in fact, some stories are semi-autobiographical for Cisneros). In addition, it is told in small vignettes, and Esperanza's age jumps around throughout the book. All can relate to the school situations as well as the heartbreaking family ones, and the trials and tribulations of being an awkward teenager is a major theme of the book. Who can't ...

A book for all, but most appreciated by girls, I think. It can be understood on many levels, so could be read up through grades eleven or twelve. Also loved by adults, it will stop your heart.

Pretty good book. Enjoyable.
I bought this book for a school assignment and had to take extensive notes on it. To be hinest, I never would have read this book if I didn't have to, but it turned out to be a pretty good story. The book is a quick read and told from a 12 year old's POV (Point of View). I enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read. It has 110 pages, some words are misspelled, and the chapters are short (like about one full page), but again, it is told be a 12 year old.I bought this book for a school assignment and had to take extensive notes on it.

Great book for hispanics learning English...
Sandra Cisneros really captures the essence of the inmigrant into the states. It's a compilation of short stories that once read, they stay with you forever. Written through a little girl's point of view, you can't help to feel connected with what she's narrating. Whether it brings back memories of your own experience or simply make you feel related, her stories are an uplifting way of looking at where you currently are compared to the first days of personal inmigration. I use this books with my adult students and they love it, they feel the learning experience. Definetely a keeper in your library collection.
