Boken bygger på en sann historie, og forteller om Maria fra Brasil, som blir knust av kjærlighetssorg etter sine første nølende forhold. Hun er overbevist om at hun aldri vil finne ekte kjærlighet. Et tilfeldig møte i Rio tar henne til Geneve, der hun drømmer om å finne berømmelse og rikdom, men ender opp som gateprostituert. Drømmen om kjærlighet blir fjernere, og hun utvikler en fascinasjon for sex. Men hennes svinnende tro på kjærligheten blir satt på prøve når hun møter en vakker, ung maler. I denne selvoppdagelsens odysse må Maria velge mellom å følge den mørke veien, seksuell tilfredsstillelse i seg selv, eller risikere alt for å finne sitt indre lys og muligheten for hellig sex, sex som en del av kjærligheten.
