Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
5.0

This was a fascinating retelling of the lives of Frank Lloyd Wright and his mistress Mamah Cheney Bothwell as told by Mamah (may-ma). The author does a wonderful job of filling in the gaps in the historical record with conversations and stories, connecting the bits that are "known". I certainly don't agree with all of Mamah and Frank's choices but I can respect their decisions and their motivations.

I'm glad I knew the ending of the story before I read it so that I had time to prepare. (You may wish to Google it, if you're not familiar but are OK with spoilers)
