'-The Washington Post. In this extraordinary adventure by Brazil's foremost novelist, one wants Flor to have everything-including her roguish, passionate husband who died of his exertions; and her new husband, a considerate gentleman. In a country of many gods and even occasional miracles, Flor approaches the divine Exu and stirs up more than old memories. And only she knows she has two husbands-one living, one dead-each consummately skilled in his way in the infinite art of love. ‘Bawdy, brilliant, human and humorous, it is a novel full of unexpected delights. It is everything a modern novel should be. It would appear high time for Brazil's Jorge Amado to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. '-Denver Post. inventory #18752.
