For thirty years, Dendre Palenberg -- a darkly exotic and enigmatic woman -- has sacrificed herself for her husband, Gideon, a world-famous painter. She has obeyed his orders, guarded his privacy, been a supportive mother and a loving wife. In return, he has taken her to the furthest limits of carnal desire, and has given her fame and fortune as `the painter's wife'. He has been her one obsession.
When Gideon flaunts his latest lover, Adair, a young and stunningly attractive art historian, in front of Dendre, his wife can no longer close her eyes to his years of philandering and the love-hate aspect of their marriage. Now her one obsession is to prevent Adair from stealing Gideon. In order to do this, she rediscovers herself --mentally, physically and sexually. Dendre tastes the ecstasy of erotic fulfillment with a number of handsome and virile men and she realizes that she has an appetite for adventure. It sets her free from obsession and enables her to love and excite on a grand scale.
