Book Reviews of Loving Frank: A Novel
Book Review: Flawed and tragic figures
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright as well as a fan of historical fiction, so I loved this fictionalized account of Frank and his lover, Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It's both a page turner and a tragedy. It is not graphic. I was reminded of Tiger Woods' recent comments that his sense of entitlement led him on to his sexual indiscretions. If you got that, you'll gain some insight into the brilliant but tragic figure that was Frank Lloyd Wright. This account does not make light of the lovers' choices. They gave up everything to be with one another. Bolstered as she was by the tenets of twentieth century feminism found particularly in Ellen Key, Mamah's decisions left her in the end with little else but Frank. And as for Frank----?
