La Casa en Mango Street (The House on Mango Street)
Written by Sandra Cisneros
and Fernanda Melchor (Translator)
Published by Vintage Espanol
La Casa en Mango Street es la extraordinaria historia de Esperanza Cordero. Contada a través de una serie de relatos —a veces desgarradores, a veces profundamente alegres— es el historia de una niña latina que crece en un barrio de Chicago, inventando por sí misma en qué y en quién se convertirá. Pocos libros de nuestra era han conmovido a tantos lectores.
