I hesitated to pick up this book, as I'm a fan of neither Frank Lloyd Wright nor truth-as-fiction tomes. I was surprisingly enchanted with this book, which relates the true story of the architect and a Chicago socialite who ran away togther in the 1900's, to much approbation and censure.

The story deals with a strong woman who choses to leave her husband and family for the love of her life, a typically unpopular choice. That choice is dealt with sympathetically, and even-handedly.

I recommend this book for fans of FLW, fans of little known but true stories, and fans of historical fiction.
