The House on Mango Street
begins when the Cordero family moves into a red,
ramshackle house—the first they have ever owned—in
the Latino section of Chicago. Daughter Esperanza is
disappointed to say the least. This is not the
dream-house her parents had talked about. What
follows is a series of vignettes, character sketches
and instant snapshots of Esperanza’s family,
neighborhood, friends and dreams as she comes of age
and attempts to break through the obstacles of
poverty, gender, and race that threaten her
confidence and her future.
