Jorge Amado,Harriet de OnÃ­s
It surprises no one that the charming but wayward Vadinho dos Guimaraesâ€“a gambler notorious for never winningâ€”dies during Carnival. His long suffering widow Dona Flor devotes herself to her cooking school and her friends, who urge her to remarry. She is soon drawn to a kind pharmacist who is everything Vadinho was not, and is altogether happy to marry him. But after her wedding she finds herself dreaming about her first husbandâ€™s amorous attentions; and one evening Vadinho himself appears by her bed, as lusty as ever, to claim his marital rights.
