The House on Mango Street
A girl's year in a Chicago barrio, built from fragments that add up to a decision about her life.
Sandra Cisneros tells Esperanza’s year in a Chicago barrio through short, poem-like chapters, each one complete in itself. The accumulation is the method: a portrait of a girl deciding what she will not accept, assembled from fragments rather than argued directly.
