The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

5.0

Honestly loved this. I really enjoy vignettes - just that little look into a moment that says so much. So many of the moments were relatable, some were sad, or were telling about the culture that pervades many Hispanic communities, even today.

I also enjoyed the idea of not using any quotation marks, because it feels like someone thinking, rather than a story. These are honest thoughts, they are messy, they are full of shame, of joy, of questions, and of fear.

I'll read this again.
