Book Review: Loving Frank
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good book, that beuatifully intertwined fiction and non-fiction. It is about a love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and a married woman, Mamah Borthwick Cheney.
At times, it was a bit slow, but over all the book moved along nicely. Mamah is a woman that was well beyond her time. I have a feeling that we all would know her name had she not fallen to tragedy. I would like to know more about her. And Mr. Wright, I believe, has a reputation for being egotistical, yet brilliant. This book shows a different side of him, although we still get a good taste of the FLW that we have all heard about.
What I found most interesting about this book was the fiction and non-fiction that were intertwined together. I found myself researching his homes and the people in the book. I became even more interested in the book once I realized that many parts are true (the end, for example). Being from Illinois, I am familiar with FLW and his work, but enjoyed hearing about how some of his designs were created and came to fruition. I will be sure to make a trip to the Dana-Thomas House in my hometown, Springfield very soon.
