Fascinating and gripping book. I learned a great deal about Wright, and early 20th C femininsm. Throughout, I felt a tension between rooting for Mamah and Frank, and questioning the responsibility of their decisions. The author describes the painful internal conflict experienced by Mamah, but it still might be hard for many readers not to judge the characters. Nevertheless, or perhaps in part because of this, the book is definitely thought provoking. Interesting insights into the life and mind of an artistic genius. In the end, we must ask, how much does chance dictate all our lives?
