Loving Frank: A Novel

This is the best book I have read in a long time! I could not put it down. I am recommending it to all my friends.

This is a very well researched and written book. You won't remain neutral about these characters. Upon ending the book, you will want more--more about Frank Lloyd Wright's ensuing decades.

How is it possible to bore a reader to death with a story of celebrity, artistic acheivement ,passionate love, adultery, and murder? Just ask Nancy Horan, the author of "Loving Frank", the story of the scandalous, and ultimately tragic, love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mameh Cheney.
Let's give Horan her due.....she is consistent. She never misses an opportunity to gloss over a conflict or miss a dramatic moment. In one sentence she decides to leave her husband and small children; in half a page we have the account of murder and mayhem that left seven innocents slaughtered.
The book reads more like a student research paper than a book of fiction.

I have enjoyed the book but felt it was somewhat of a slow read. Thoughful and reflective.

I didn't know much about Wright and enjoyed this book - learning about his work and getting a glimpse into his personality. Although the work was mainly about Mamah, and got a little dull at times, overall it was a quick read and well written.
