The House on Mango Street | Sandra Cisneros

Pickpick

A quick read with a lot of heart folded in. Esperanza speaks of her attempts to make friends, first job, and so much more as she tries to find her bearings as a young teenager.

willaful Kerr did real damage. Will Milton back out? Should he?

I found this a very menacing chapter, somehow. I kept expecting something dramatically horrible to happen. Instead it\'s low key horrible.

BarkingMadRead @willaful I for sure kept waiting for one of them to bail, I was shocked that they didn‘t! 1mo

Cuilin It‘s vignette after vignette with this novel. I still demand a movie. (edited) 2mo
Ruthiella Oh, I rather like Colonel Duperrier. He strikes me as a sad, wistful figure. I think he see the Lawrence girls as the daughters he never had, nothing more sinister than that…🤔 (edited) 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella that‘s definitely possible, I‘m pretty cynical 🤣 2mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin agree. Dare I say it- might be better than the book. 2mo
Bookwormjillk I love the random judgemental quotes though. Two days ago it was middle class words, yesterday it was mustaches, and today it was the sinister yellow glasses. I don\'t always remember all the characters or understand what is going on, but there\'s usually something that makes me laugh. 2mo
IndoorDame @Cuilin YES! Where is our movie 🎥 🍿???? This would make the best movie night ever! 🤣🤣🤣 2mo
willaful Ronald seems to want to be Oscar Wilde. 2mo
mcctrish @Ruthiella I think that‘s what it is, initially it came across as much more sinister probably because of his wife‘s hysterics stomping out of the room 2mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish @Ruthiella I don‘t know; he seems a little more fond of Joan than a father would be. 😏 1mo

IndoorDame So nosy! They just kept fishing until they got Sydney to admit she was with Mrs. Kerr, as if that proved something 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m behind, but this makes me want to catch up. #cheepcheepcheep 2mo

Ruthiella I‘m finally caught up! Who are these ladies who can‘t stay at home and don‘t know what to do with themselves? (edited) 2mo
Cuilin They really can‘t stand the thought of a truly independent woman. They all spend their time doing something even though they admit it‘s not useful. Mrs. Kerr does nothing but seems happy. 2mo
peanutnine I love that Sydney got the last word! She's not ashamed of spending time with Mrs. Kerr, even though it gives these ladies ammunition for gossip 2mo
mcctrish I love Mrs Kerr now, she sits in the sun just to sit in the sun ☀️ 👏🏻👏🏻 I do wish she‘d read though 2mo
rubyslippersreads I would go insane, sitting with those old biddies and gossiping. If you have a lovely balcony with a view, why wouldn‘t you take advantage of it? 2mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I thought that too. Sitting outside and reading is so delightful, I‘d be doing more of that than most of the activities the characters engage in. 2mo
