Ellie doesn t understand children. She doesn t understand what they want or what makes them happy. She doesn t understand why they re so mean. Adults are no better. Her mother spends her days consoling sad, lonely men, mysteriously easing their grief; men like Funeral Lou, lost in his own sorrow, tenderly embalming the dead. Only Joseph offers Ellie a ray of hope, pointing to a brighter path through the darkness, his carved tiger a symbol of beauty in a morally ambiguous world. A world full of conflicted souls like Gregory, the man Ellie meets in the park, with the colourful, unusual fruit . . . Strange Fruit is a haunting tale of a young girl s coming-of age; a dazzling narrative of heartache and hope.
