A collection of stories by Sandra Cisneros, the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street and the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. The lovingly drawn characters of these stories give voice to the vibrant and varied life on both sides of the Mexican border with tales of pure discovery, filled with moments of infinite and intimate wisdom.

I loved The House on Mango Street
and very much wanted to read more
of this author. The quality of
the stories varied wildly, from
excellent to poor. Even the
weakest stories, however, are
very successful in presenting
a Hispanic-American viewpoint,
a viewpoint that I have rarely
seen in print and one that is
needed in my part of the world.
