The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. I heard about her from Michael Silverblatt's show & went to order it like right after hearing her read. It's mostly about a young Chicana girl growing up in a poorer Latino neighborhood in Chicago, told thru these like little vignettes that sort of work like poetry almost, & you'll prolly find a few that really really hit you the way poems do. But yeah, it's a very pretty book you can read in an afternoon, definitely recommend it.
