Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon

IlhÂ©us in 1925 is a booming town with a record cacao crop and aspirations for progress, but the traditional ways prevail. When Colonel MendonÂ§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 townâ‚¬â€œleast of all Gabriela herselfâ‚¬â€œwill be the agent of change. Nacib Saad has just lost the cook at his popular cafÂ© 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.
