The House on Mango Street/La Casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
You are invited to read this book in either English or Spanish. The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero. Told in a series of vignettes - sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous - it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers. The novel deals with sensitive subject matters, such as domestic violence, puberty, sexual harassment, and racism.
