Loving Frank is a fictional account of a historical affair between Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW)and one of his client's wives. Those expecting to learn more about FLW's art will be disappointed, but the book is not disappointing. The book focuses on the woman with whom FLW has an affair; why she chose to leave her husband and children, how she justified her long absence from her children's lives and how her choices affected others, including her sister. The book also puts you squarely in the times, where husbands and wives could divorce their spouses only with their consent and where aldutery was most definitely not socially acceptable. "Loving Frank" was a good read and made for good discussions at our book group.
