About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The House on Mango Street, written and read by Sandra Cisneros

Told in a series of vibrant vignettes, The House on Mango Street is the story of Esperanza Cordera, a young girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. For Esperanza, Mango Street is a desolate landscape of concrete and run-down tenements where she discovers the hard realities of life - the fetters of class and gender, the spectre of racial enmity and the mysteries of sexuality. Capturing her thoughts and emotions in poems and stories, Esperanza is able to rise above hopelessness and create for herself "a house all of my own quiet as snow, a space for myself to go" in the midst of her oppressive surroundings.

This book is a joy to listen to. I am looking forward to listening to it again as there is a lot in every piece. I live the circle and full telling, the honesty and love it presents.

The truth that lay underneath such a joyful voice.
