I'm granting a wish for a participant in Flossie's Wishlist Exchange RABCK. I hope they enjoy the book! ;-)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I'm sending this off to etherea for Flossie's Wishlist Exchange. Hope you enjoy this Frank Lloyd Wright story!

Thanks for the book from my wishlist! I went to Taliesen West in Phoenix a couple of years ago and have been interested in Frank Lloyd Wright ever since.

Once I picked this up I couldn't put it down. I'm so glad that imawinn2 shared this book with me. I didn't agree with all of the choices that Mamah and Frank made, but that did not detract from the enjoyment of the story.
Nancy Horan did a remarkable job of fleshing out the story with little material available to her.
One of the amusing things I remember from visiting Taliesin West is the fact that they didn't mention any of "Frank's women".

I added this to the Waternixie potluck box and sent it on its way. I hope it finds a new reader to enjoy it as much as I did!

Took this out from waternixie potluck bookbox.

Not really Non-Fiction, but not really Biography or Memoir, either. Rather a colorful blended narrative connected to the life & clandestine love affair of the infamous American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

From Amazon...

I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current.

So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives.

In this ambitious debut novel, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America’s greatest architect, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney’s profound influence on Wright.

Drawing on years of research, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative, vividly portraying the conflicts and struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of mother, wife, lover, and intellectual. Horan’s Mamah is a woman seeking to find her own place, her own creative calling in the world. Mamah’s is an unforgettable journey marked by choices that reshape her notions of love and responsibility, leading inexorably ultimately lead to this novel’s stunning conclusion.

Elegantly written and remarkably rich in detail, Loving Frank is a fitting tribute to a courageous woman, a national icon, and their timeless love story.

Removing this book from the booklady331's Non-Fiction VBB because it really doesn't meet the criteria.

Reserving for booklady331's ABC (Already Been Crossed) VBB round 18.
