Sandra Cisneros-House on mango street

House on mango street was quite a cute read. I wouldn't really call it a story per se; rather it was like a collection of fictitious anecdotes.

It described the neighborhood that little Esperanza Cordero grew up in- mango street. It was a poor neighborhood with plentiful of colorful characters. Esperanza was ashamed of the house she, her parents and siblings lived in and longed to leave mango street (probably by becoming a writer).
Quite a nice read but it probably wouldn't whet the appetite of someone who loves a storyline.
