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.

A salient & timely reminder of what it is to experience a glass ceiling through the heart, mind, & body of a child. Esperanza’s moments of unwanted sexual contact twist guts & belong to us all.

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.

One of my favorite lines in literature comes from #TheHouseOnMangoStreet: “You can never have too much sky.”

How does that line land with you? What does it make you see or feel?
