Loving Frank by Nancy Horan

This historical, well written novel, is the story of the lives and the love between Mamah Borthwick Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright during the early part of the 20th century.

Horan has written a complicated true story and introduced us to the complex love affair between Wright and the unconventional, educated, scholarly, and forward thinking woman that was Mamah Cheney. At the same time, we're given an insight into the true character of the famous architect and the visions behind his work. The settings take us to the places in Europe visited by the pair, and the various locations are painted with eloquent prose.

This book, while extremely entertaining, is also informative, satisfying, and left me wanting to learn more about the architect, Mamah Cheney, and the women's movement of the early 1900's.

I highly recommend Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.
