Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
5.0
For years, I've lusted after various Frank Lloyd Wright designs, and I've bought more than a few Wright inspired things. But I really didn't know much about the man.
And I'm not saying this book can replace a good biography (which I will have to find eventually), but it is a wonderful book. So often when fiction deals with adultery, it leaves out the complexities. This novel embraces the complexities--from the families left behind to media attention to the difficulty of loving a egotistical genius. I dreaded the ending (in part, because I knew the history), and it gripped me in a way books rarely do. A beautiful novel--one of the best I've read in a long time.
