Once upon a time there was some rice. Rice planted in the earth, fallen from the sky, and gathered up from the stone. Rice that doesn't spoil, it came from far away, by ship with three exuberant young people filled with dreams ... Once Upon a Time in Rio is a spellbinding family saga beginning with JoseÌ CustoÌdio and Maria Romana and their search for a prosperous future. As newlyweds, JoseÌ and Maria immigrated to Brazil at the beginning of the twentieth century, accompanied by a special gift. During the dinner preparations to celebrate their centenary wedding anniversary, their eldest son Antonio, already a grandfather, looks back at the lives of his parents, his aunt, his brothers, their children and grandchildren, as well as his own. Antonio knows that family is a difficult dish to get right and that happiness must be cooked up day by day; however, what separates his family from any other is its possession of a secret ingredient for happiness: the sack of magical rice given to his parents on their wedding day. With the help of the rice, whose magic is as old as fire and time, Antonio's family has been guided through the most trying of life's tribulations. Lyrically written, Once Upon a Time in Rio bares the fragile yet strong nature of the human spirit and with great insight captures the solace provided by loved ones in times of need. Already an international bestseller, this is a beautifully told tale about the wisdom of past generations and the inextricable ties of family"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "Originally published as O Arroz de Palma in 2008 in Brazil by Editora Record"--Title page verso. 546 $a In English translated from Portuguese. 650 0 $a Families $z Brazil $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 651 0 $a Portugal $x Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 651 7 $a Portugal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208476 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hahn, Daniel, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C20FF14AA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
