A sensual feast of love and art

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: I greatly enjoyed this period romance between feminist Mamah Borthwick and Frank Lloyd Wright. Full of artistic flourishes and period detail.
Review: Nancy Horan's first novel Loving Frank chronicles the long-term love affair between architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his mistress Mamah Borthwick. Based on Wright's autobiography, old newspaper clippings, census reports, and letters from Mamah to...

The Bottom Line: If you love a good story, historical accuracy, erudition, and lyrical prose, this book delivers all. A must read.
Review: Nancy Horan gives us a wonderfully compelling, honest and moving portrait of the young genius Frank Wright, through the eyes of the love of his life, Mamah Cheney.

I have always admired Frank Lloyd Wright's work, but confess to knowing...

What she gave up

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Although well written, this book is a big downer. Read it if you are just too happy with your life.
Review: This is a tragic love story, much akin to Madame Bovary's trials. Mamah has left her family - her little children and a doting husband along with her unmarried sister - to take up with an artist. This is something like running away to join the...

Paperback, Loving Frank
I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current.So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them.

While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America's greatest architect, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney's profound influence on Wright.Drawing on years of research, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative, vividly portraying ...
