Helpful Score: 1

The vibrant cover of Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Rojas Contreras gives no hint of the heartbreak and violence that lies in this story of two girls forced to grow up way too soon by a conflict that they do not understand. Set in a turbulent Bogota, Colombia, this book is based on an imagining of what did not but could have happened in the author's own life. The book is slow reading, but the characters are heartbreaking.
