Fruit of the Drunken Tree

Fruit of the Drunken Tree is a captivating and poignant coming-of-age story set in Colombia during the height of Pablo Escobar's reign of terror.

Through the alternating perspectives of the willful seven-year-old Chula and the achingly hopeful Petrona, this book sheds light on the impossible choices women are often forced to make in the face of violence.

With lush prose, Rojas Contreras creates an unforgettable narrative that contrasts two very different, but inextricable coming-of-age stories.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience during times of conflict and turmoil.
