Overview
Ā
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. āIn English my name means hope,ā she says. āIn Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting."
Told in a series of vignettesāsometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyousāCisnerosās masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewisās Main Street or Toni Morrisonās Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. Acclaimed by critics, a staple in schools, translated into dozens of languages, this gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling oneās story and of being proud of where you're from.Ā
