Woman Hollering Creek: And Other Stories Review: A Must-Have book by Sandra Cisneros!! - I had such a wonderful time reading this collection of stories by Sandra Cisneros! The stories are so thoughtful and well-written. I am in amazement! I liked that I felt the stories were very relatable to me and really touched my heart and soul. I felt inspired while reading. I feel close to her since she is Mexican American also. I read the stories at night before bedtime. I went ahead and bought her book Caramelo next which I am currently reading. It will be my second time reading it, as I read it once over a decade ago in my twenties. Review: My Friend Lucy Who Smells Like Corn - It was in 7th grade when I was first introduced to the House on Mango Street. Thanks to my teacher Ms. Henning, I have become an avid reader of Ms. Cisneros and other great writers such as Elena Poniatowska (one of Sandra's favorites), Julia Álvarez, and Gabriel García Márquez. When I was a freshman in high school, Caramelo had been released and I read it in a matter of three days. The only book left to read of Cisneros was Woman Hollering Creek. This year, things changed. I spent my summer at Harvard University where I took two courses. Mexican Literature and Fiction Writing. While at Harvard, one of my favorite things to do was to walk into the Harvard Book Store, go downstairs to the USED book section and search through the bookshelves. Eventually, that day I purchased the House of Spirits by Isabel Allende (because no one can believe that I haven't read it), Go Tell it to the Mountain by James Baldwin, Sula by Toni Morrison, and last but not least, Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros. Since the East Coast consists of very small states, I visited a couple of schools including Boston U., Tufts, Brown, Amherst, Dartmouth, NYU, and Columbia. My trip to Columbia had to be the most fun of all. Me, and two friends, one from L.A. and the other from Chicago all took books for the bus trip. I remember my friend from L.A. was reading Beloved by Toni Morrison, the other was reading a book that was assigned by her Psychology professor (BORING), and I was reading Woman Hollering Creek. By the time we got to New York City I was finished with the book. I liked it so much that when I went back to Harvard I requested my favorite story "Mericans" to be read in class and afterwards we had a discussion. Because of Sandra, I am now a writer and I admire her for getting so far. If you have read The House on Mango Street, you have an idea of the type of neighborhood Sandra lived in. Well that's the exact same neighborhood in which I have been living all my life. Most of the adolescents living in this neighborhood are seen as students who are incapable of having a good future, but Sandra has proved that wrong. Now, she is internationally well known and has been my motivation throughout the past years. Earlier this year, I had to opportunity to meet her in person, and said that she was working on a book right now. I have no other option than to wait. ## Features - Mexican - Culture - Witch woman ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #61,603 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #96 in Hispanic American Literature & Fiction #811 in Short Stories (Books) #3,915 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 581 Reviews | ## Images ![Woman Hollering Creek: And Other Stories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xUUssmkpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Have book by Sandra Cisneros!! *by G***E on December 10, 2019* I had such a wonderful time reading this collection of stories by Sandra Cisneros!

It is beautiful and absolutely heart wrenching all at the same time. She paints pictures of an emotional range rarely found in modern literature. Focusing in on Latina women, this collection of short stories ranges in plot from a witch woman in her home country to a desperately in love young woman who can't seem to find her way out of a relationship that is obviously not good for her to a collection of prayers from a community of people. This reads quickly, but is definitely one of those books that needs time to digest after you get through a story. Surface meanings do not come easily here, let alone those buried deep in the typeface. The writing is a tad depressing, but that fits with the overarching theme of women in poverty, struggling to get by, and yet seeing a sad beauty surrounding their worlds that nobody else seems to notice. Thankfully, there are a few sections where Cisneros drives the fits of triumphant womanhood home to save us from being swallowed whole by misery. All in all a great read and very accessible to all genders and races. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1962479-woman-hollering-creek-and-other-stories](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1962479-woman-hollering-creek-and-other-stories) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
