A classic. . . . This little book has made a great space for itself on the shelf of American literature. Julia Alvarez

Afortunado! Lucky! 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. . . . Like the best of poetry, it opens the windows of the heart without a wasted word. Miami Herald

Sandra Cisneros is one of the most brillant of today s young writers. Her work is sensitive, alert, nuanceful . . . rich with music and picture. Gwendolyn Books
