The Moon Is Backwards traces the arc of a woman’s life from her childhood in the drought-stricken Northeast of Brazil in the mid-1940s, to her marriage and migration to help build the new capital, Brasília; from an idealistic vision of the future to the brutal reality of the military dictatorship and the constant dangers of her husband’s involvement in the resistance. Through it all, Eva’s love of cooking sustains her as she fights to build a better future for her family and country.

Where to begin, I loved so many things about this book. I feel like the author brought me on a journey of love, loss, hope, joy, faith, suppression, victory and travel. All weaved in with rich cultural, historical and culinary details that make you feel like you want to travel and see Brazil for yourself.
This is eat pray love 2.0. This would make an incredible movie. Hopefully a producer somewhere reads it and decides to make it into a movie. It makes you feel all your emotions as you journey through the main characters eyes.

Brilliantly written, a must read for a book club.
