A House of My Own: Stories from My Life by Sandra Cisneros

5.0

Sandra Cisneros is an artful writer. Her command of language is inspirational and her story is fascinating. She opened my eyes about aspects of my own life I never thought about, made me fall in love with Mexican and Mexican-American culture, and even inspired me write my own poetry. This was every book I ever want to read: an memoir in the form of an essay collection written by a poet. I loved how she wrote about artists, culture, and the way she saw beautiful things. I too want to own a pink house and fill it with dogs and art and write. I fell in love with her and her life and her words. Thank you Senita Cisneros.

PS shout out to the physical book. My library copy had nice heavy pages and was printed with color images. Absolutely beautiful book. I would love to own a copy of this book *wink wink*.
