Loving Frank

Loving Frank - Nancy Horan

A disturbing tale, but well written. A fictionalized account of the affair between Mamah Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright. A picture i guess of a woman trapped in conventions of society, and the choices she makes to escape them upon finding the true love of her life. I was fascinated by the commentary on children and feminism the book presented. I am sure I would have made different choices, but I could see Mamah's motivations as valid too. A little stereotyping with Wright as the "tortured artist", but I do not know much of his life and work yet. A tragic ending I was not aware of - I am going to read the real accounts of what we know of these two soon!
