SUMMERY

Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, The House on Mango Street tells the story of Esperenza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty. Esperanza doesn’t want to belong-not to her rundown neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Esperanza’s story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will became.
