2. 2. Fruit Of The Drunken Tree

   

   Set in 1990s Bogotá during the height of the drug war, this intimate novel follows the uneasy friendship between a sheltered girl from an affluent family and the child of the household staff; as kidnappings, extortion and random violence creep closer to their lives, domestic walls dissolve and private fears and loyalties are tested. Told in spare, lyrical prose and filtered through the children's shifting perspectives and later memory, the story examines class divides, the quiet compromises people make to survive, and how trauma and silence shape the lives left behind.
