Ilh us in 1925 is a booming town with a record cacao crop and aspirations for progress but the traditional ways prevail. When Colonel Mendon a discovers his wife in bed with a lover he shoots and kills them both. Political contests too can be settled by gunshot… No one imagines that a bedraggled migrant worker who turns up in town-least of all Gabriela herself-will be the agent of change. Nacib Saad has just lost the cook at his popular caf and in desperation hires Gabriela. To his surprise she turns out to be a great beauty as well as a wonderful cook and an enchanting boon to his business. But what would people say if Nacib were to marry her? Lusty satirical and full of intrigue Gabriela Clove and Cinnamon is a vastly entertaining panorama of small town Brazilian life.
