THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET

Sandra Cisneros just pulled it off. This work gives you the feel of what next the protagonist is about to do.The work is crucial for its themes. Must read if you are working on yourthesis or dissertation on hemes such as loneliness, thirst to achieve in life etc. This work completely brings out the 'inner self' in us.

When I was in college, one of my professors recommended us this book.... She told us and I quote "that every girl should read this book once in her lifetime" .... So finally I read this book and I am just glad I did...All I want is to read this book with some of my fav quotes from this novel (though mera bas chalta to saare ke saare hi pages yahan type kar deti 🤭)🌷As a girl, she dreamed about having a silent home, just to herself.🌷The mother doesn't object. She knows what is it to live a life filled with regrets, and she doesn't want her daughter to live that life too.🌷 She's afraid of going to the movies alone, and that's why she's decided to go. Because sl🌷She looked outh the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow.🌷You can never have too much sky. You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky, and sky can keep you safe when you are sad.🌷She doesn't need anybody to laugh with, she just laughs.🌷I am one who leaves the table like a man, without putting back the chair or picking up the plate.🌷Shame is the bad thing, you know. It keeps you down.Hope you will read this story one day and tell me what you feel after reading this book.Happy readingStay happy

My daughter(13 years) did not like this..it depends on your choices..

Esperanza is a hispanic girl who has moved along with her large family to an underprivileged neighbourhood in Chicago. she talks about her struggles and surroundings. transitioning into puberty, she meets new people and has various experiences, both good and bad. but mango street is not where she wants to live and has a constant urge to live somewhere rich and influential.this book is short and has even shorter chapters which makes it a fast paced read. overall it's interesting and to really understand the book and it's themes, one has to think deeper

The book is a series of Vignettes, it’s from the point of view of Esperanza, a Hispanic child living in Chicago. We see Esperanza’s neighbors, friends, family and strangers she meets; we live through her, we meet women of all sorts, some who want to assert themselves, women who are victims of domestic violence, harassment, objectification.What also stood out for me was a glimpse into Mexican culture, we learn about people trying to make sense of the world while being in a foreign land. There is a sadness in this book and the author paints a picture so vivid and so impressive that I loved every minute of it. I haven’t read a lot in Chicano literature but this one seems like a great start!

Good condition

Interesting book.

It is a wonderful story and I am willing to go through it again and again. It got me connected to it so well ,I by heart recommend it to everyone especially to all the young girls and women

Estaba en una racha de empezar libros y dejarlos como a 3/4 y este librito está tan bello, profundo y fácil de leer que lo termine completo en tiempo récord.Lo amé mucho.

This was one of the best books I've ever read. I had to read this book for school and it came the day after, 45 minutes BEFORE it said it would deliver but on with the book, The House on Mango Street is very well written and very simple and short (which I like) it can be finished in one sitting or if you like to take your time a couple days, I honestly read it in one sitting)))))))

One of the most delightful, insightful and unique books written in the last 50 years.

Gostei muito

Was soll ich sagen, dass Buch kam schnell an, es war in einem sehr guten Zustand.Aber es war auch für die Schule bestellt worden, sonst hätte ich es mir persönlich nicht gekauft. Aber das steht ja auch auf einem anderen Blatt. 😉
