Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon
Jorge Amado
A tale of traditional ways and progress in 1920s Ilhéus, Brazil, where political contests and marital affairs are resolved through gunshots. The unexpected arrival of Gabriela, a migrant worker with a talent for cooking and an enchanting beauty, becomes an agent of change in the town's small-minded ways. Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon is a lusty, satirical, and wildly entertaining portrayal of small town Brazilian life.
