I absolutely loved this book! Great writing about an aspect of Frank Lloyd Wright's life that I was unfamiliar with. It was so interesting reading about a time when women did not have the vote and were merely extensions of their husbands. I felt the pain and frustration with her life that Mamah Cheney felt AND her justified frustrations with Frank as he lived a grandiose lifestyle that included not paying his bills while espousing the rights of the "little man", the same people he was not paying. An amazing book about an amazing man and woman early in the 20th Century. If you are looking for a love story, look elsewhere. This is not so much about love as what drove these two people to enter into a love affair that ultimately destroyed so many lives.
