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.

Life-changing
Format: Hardcover
This book my eyes to so many patterns that I've had since I was a child. I'm now much later in my life and wish I had had a book like this when I was in my 20s and 30s, and not my 70s. Nevertheless the information is always helpful and helped open my eyes to so many things. Nothing else that helps me move forward. I love all of Joyce's books and follow her Ministry. She is a no-nonsense straight to the punch speaker. She talks about very uncomfortable things. Which we still need to hear either way. So I recommend this book Kylie for anyone who's gone through rejection from friends, parents, friends, jobs, rejection from spouses. Joyce is a no-nonsense straight to the heart person. Sometimes we tiptoe around these issues, what's the point of that. I highly recommend this book

Amazing book
Format: Kindle
One of her best books---and I've read a lot of them. Ginger Stache's contributions were outstanding, too. This book provides so much insight and gives me great peace just from reading it. My main takeaway is that often, you are not the direct target of rejection. It frequently has more to do with the individual doing the rejecting than with the rejected. Also, it can just be God's way of protecting us from a relationship that will ultimately harm us. Highly recommend this book.
