It's 1988, and our heroine is leaving Brazil for the US with her new husband: an Argentinian clergyman with a roving eye toward women. Frozen Brazilian Delight is the story of a newlywed couple, brought together by the protagonist's sense of duty toward her Holocaust Survivors' parents, who urged her to choose the religious man as a husband instead of the simple man she had fallen in love with. Stories of the holocaust intermingle with the newly married couple's journey, as they land in Cincinnati, Ohio, and attempt to learn English and the Midwest culture. Through situations both hilarious and heartbreaking, the two navigate their way in their new home. A riveting historical novel mixed with Jewish mysticism and Brazilian folklore, CeCe Rubin's 'Frozen Brazilian Delight' offers a glimpse to the life of an immigrant after the Second World War.
