Her Hungry Heart
“It never waned, any more than her beauty and elegance had. Beechtrees and Mimi’s first sight of Barbara seemed as vivid to her as if it had all happened yesterday, not more than twenty years ago.
Barbara was stepping from the plum-coloured Rolls. Every head on the street turned her way: she still had sensational looks. A special charisma that women ignored and men adored. As children, Mimi and Max, Juliet and Pierre, had been dazzled by her. Mimi couldn’t help smiling that Barbara could still d...o that to her. Easy to understand why men made fools of themselves over her. Famous and powerful men were putty in her hands, even now, when she was no longer a young woman. If anything, her success and the tempestuous, at times notorious, private life she led seemed only to add to that charisma.
Barbara had the best of all worlds. With an international reputation as one of the finest painters in the world, she had paintings in every museum in every capital city in Europe and America. She had what most great artists craved: fame in their work and privacy in their life.MoreLess
