The bestselling coming-of-age classic, acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.
The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero, a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We loved The House on Mango Street, a short but sweet coming-of-age novel. Esperanza Cordero is a Latina girl in Chicago; her story’s told in poetic vignettes that showcase her yearning for a better life and a home like the ones she sees on TV. Sandra Cisneros’ brilliantly written book is both funny and heart-wrenching, exploring themes like poverty and chauvinism. She brings to life the different characters who inhabit Esperanza’s world and celebrates the gift of writing, which ultimately lets her protagonist spread her wings and be free.
