The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

I have never (until this book) read a story which used such short and yet effective imagery. The main character Esparanza was quite real and grew so close to my heart. The bit about the monkey garden, and soaking into the earth/wanting to was very beautiful. Every page I flipped left me wondering about our world's condition and the lives of many that are lived less than at peace. I would dub this book memorable and somehow motivating. -Diana S.
