Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

By Mark O'Thomas - Based the novel by Jorge Amado

Cookery teacher Dona Flor's roguish husband drops dead partying at a carnival. He may have been a womaniser, but once he’s gone, all she can remember is his lovemaking. A second marriage with a respectable pharmacist gives her stability but not the sensual love she craves. In answer to Dona Flor’s longing, her first husband mysteriously reappears, eager to reclaim his conjugal rights, creating a very unusual ménage à trois.
