Ilheus in 1925 is a booming town with a record cacao crop and
aspirations for progress, but the traditional ways prevail. When
Colonel Mendonca 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 cafe 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.
