I really enjoyed #thehouseonmangostreet by #sandracisneros
I’m unsure why there are some harsh reviews, and I don’t mean in a critiquing sort of way. The reviews seem pretty mixed.

Still working through #TheHouseOnMangoStreet
The vignette “Alicia Who Sees Mice” ends on such a haunting note.
Couple that with its opening sentence and the whole vignette shifts into the realm of the frightening.
“Close your eyes and they’ll go away, her father says, or You’re just imagining”

Every time I read #TheHouseonMangoStreet I am reminded how I didn’t read it when I was a teen and how much I needed it back then. As a girl and young woman I was always on the wrong side of what I was supposed to be. Esperanza represents that battle btwn our supposed roles and rejections of that.

Esperanza’s feet ground her in the world.
Feet can be thought of as a symbol of the tired, aching reality many feel in their bones, day in and day out.
