The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

4.0

---

I wasn't sure if I'd appreciate the format of this book as much as I did. In the first half I wasn't convinced, but by the end I understood. The vignettes were impactful and painted a picture of Esperanza Cordero's life on Mango street beautifully and succinctly. It touched on culture, class, gender, and more while maintaining a sort of poeticism.
