From this book everything started..simply Harissa..Viva Brazil !

We are serving tonight a piece of Brazil ..Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, Jorge Amado

"Gabriela enjoys her life of free love and movement. Her behavior is not hindered but the rules of society and conducts herself as her innocent mind sees as workable.  She has no problem with appearing “uncivilized” but does not understand why those that are “civilized” push themselves in that direction if it displeases them. Gabriela is hard to figure out because she is simple in how she chooses to live her life and civilized society does not seem to be able to grasp that"
