Loving Frank  By Nancy Horan  (Now in Paperback)

I loved this book, as it is rich and layered.  Experiencing Mamah's struggle and choices was very emotional and thought provoking.  Women of today are still struggling with all the same issues.  Do we have a career, or do we have children?  Or do we have both?  Do we stay in a loveless marriage for the sake of the children, or do we divorce?  How do we balance our lives?  I found the feminist history in this story most interesting.  I knew going into this book that Frank Lloyd Wright was a great American architect--that was the extent of my knowledge.  I didn't know about the scandal or the tragedy, so I was terribly shocked by the ending.  It was hard to read the last few chapters through my tears.  If you know Wright's history going into the book you won't suffer such a huge shock.      Reviewed by Ann Reierson
