Jorge Amado used to say that in writing Dona Flor and her Two Husbands he had based himself on a story he heard some years earlier about a widow who remarries but can't stop dreaming about her deceased first husband. As a model for Vadinho, the author recalled a friend from his youth who spent his life "losing money and accumulating women". Jorge Amado starts by tickling the reader's fancy with a romance between a good girl, Flor, and a lovable, sensual gambler, Vadinho. He is the classic villain we hate to love.
