Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon by Jorge Amado

YESSSSS!!!!! I am a Lover and I love LOVE. I enjoyed this lusty book so much, I will be gifting the original (in Brazilian-Portuguese) to my Portuguese ex who hates me.

I also recommend visiting the Jorge Amado museum in Salvador, Bahia in Brazil. It's on the same square (well - triangle) where Michael Jackson famously waved to a bunch of people (?????)
