Lucky the generation who grew up with Esperanza and The House on Mango Street . And lucky future readers. This funny, beautiful book will always be with us.” —Maxine Hong Kingston "Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one." —Bebe Moore Campbell, The New York Times Book Review "Marvelous...spare yet luminous. The subtle power of Cisneros's storytelling is evident. She communicates all the rapture and rage of growing up in a modern world." — San Francisco Cronicle "A deeply moving novel...delightful and poignant....
