The novel by the famous Brazilian writer Jorge Amado takes us to sunny Bahia, where an exciting “story about morality and love” unfolds, revealing the enchanting secrets of women’s psychology and sensuality.
“Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands” is a story of morality, love, and sensual longing. In his bold and gentle novel, J. Amado tells about the intimate life of his heroine, describing her experiences—ones that usually remain hidden.
The plot develops against the backdrop of a peculiar South American life, into which the reader is drawn through the vivid author’s sketches of the city of Bahia. This gives special flavor to the narrative about two marriages and the restrained passion with which Dona Flor lived.
