The House on Mango Street Summary
The House on Mango Street is a bildungsroman (coming-of-age story) of a young Chicana (Mexican-American) girl named Esperanza Cordero.
The book is told in small vignettes which act as both chapters of a
novel and independent short stories or prose poems. The story
encompasses a year in Esperanza’s life, as she moves to a house on Mango
Street in a barrio (Latino neighborhood) of Chicago, Illinois. The
house on Mango Street is an improvement over Esperanza’s previous
residences, but it is still not the house she or her family dreams of,
and throughout the book Esperanza feels that she doesn’t belong there.
