In the past two years, Jason and I have toured two Frank Lloyd Wright homes and I took a Loving Frank architecture class in college that featured a ton of his work, so I thought I would enjoy a fictionalized glimpse of his personal life. What I didn't like was Mamah, who was unfortunately the main ch I was very disappointed by this book. What I didn't like was Mamah, who was unfortunately the main character of the book. Mamah Cheney Loving Frank a client of FLW's and they had an affair that spanned several years. It didn't bother me to read about their affair the book was fairly tame in that regardbut I did find it highly objectionable that Mamah felt in order to be herself as a woman, she needed to abandon her children and husband. I detest the idea that being a strong woman means being selfish, which I felt was implied throughout this book by Loving Frank thoughts and actions. Isn't it MORE Loving Frank to fulfill your obligations than to do whatever you want? Doesn't it make you a stronger woman to be responsible instead of meeting only your own needs? I would like to think I'm a strong woman perhaps too strong sometimes? I guess I Loving Frank left feeling that "Loving Frank" was not a worthwhile proposition if loving him meant giving up Loving Frank much of what is really important. View all 43 comments. Dec 16, John rated it liked it. Fanciful thinking aside, I saw no courage displayed here. The more I read the more I yearned for some fiber of Loving Frank to make its presence known in their consciousness, but no, that never happened. Frank and Mamah possessed incredible genius, intelligence and the drive to accomplish something noble. Loving Frank was anticipating her breakthrough and was Loving Frank to relish her success yet my interest in her as a person waned as her character flaws inexorably mounted one upon the other. The story near the end of the book crashes with a startling and Loving Frank twist; I Loving Frank not see it coming. View 2 comments. May 03, Gail rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorite-authors. I just think I pick a lot of Loving Frank - ha ; But seriously, this book. I love it in a way I haven't loved a book in a while even all the ones I've said I loved. First off, for those unfamiliar with the plot, this is historical fiction at its finest — detailing the love affair between FLW and Mamah Cheney. Remarkably, this is Horan's first book and it is beautiful. She managed to put pieces together of a puzzle that equates to an unbelievable love story but also one that is so true to Loving Frank time period. And for a story about adulterers early 20th century adulterers no less! PS - I'll just add that I know a writer has done a remarkable job when I finish a book and feel so compelled by it that I have to know more about the characters, the settings, etc. PPS - I often write these reviews right after finishing a book, so sorry if I gushed quite a bit.

There is not one note on the book flap or in cover blurbs to point to that. It's Loving Frank historical novel, a love affair between a woman named Mamah Borthwright or -wick or something like that and Frank Lloyd Wright. They really did leave their families--his six children, her three--to be with one another in As an editor, I'm surprised by the book editor's decision to not make note of the tragic twist at the end even once on the cover.

NEW YORK, GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM - DAY (1958) A long, still WIDE SHOT of the museum’s facade: a temple of sculptural perfection. A checker CAB rolls down Fifth Avenue. Then a 1957 CADILLAC, followed by a late 1950’s New York City BUS. TWO MEN in fedoras and suits stroll through frame, stopping briefly to stare up at the building. We PRESS FORWARD into the space where the men just were, closer to the building, CLOSER, passing through the walls... INT. GUGGENHEIM, ATRIUM - CONTINUOUS Inside. WORKMEN and islands of SCAFFOLDING punctuate the vast open atrium. Ethereal light pours down from the huge skylight above. The building is still unfinished. SUPER: 1958. The HAMMERING continues, louder now, mixed with other sounds of CONSTRUCTION. One by one, the workmen stop hammering, doff their caps and stand at respectful attention. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, 91 and still arrogantly handsome, dressed in a black broad-brimmed hat and dark suit, stands in the center of the atrium, surveying the space and light. Pleased, but not satisfied. Seeing something that we are not seeing. He nods perfunctorily at the workmen and begins to walk slowly up the long, spiralling RAMP. The workmen stare after him -- the greatest architect of their time -- then return to work. INT. GUGGENHEIM, RAMP - CONTINUOUS Alone, slowly, Frank ascends the ramp. Looking critically at things -- the quality of plasterwork, cavities in the walls and ceilings where lights will be -- but also, the higher he goes, the more he seems to be entering another state of mind, a place of his own.

  • LOVING: Frank Lloyd Wright
    LOVING: Frank Lloyd Wright Saturday August 17th to Saturday August 24th, 2019 FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT is widely regarded as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. He certainly held this opinion himself: in fact during his lifetime he claimed to be “the greatest architect who ever lived”. He was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 completed works. His contribution to American culture is considered so important than no less than 17 of his buildings have been designated to be retained by the AIA (American Institute of Architects). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of these buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright authored 20 books and many articles and was a popular lecturer in the US and in Europe. Even apart from his fame as an architect, his life is fascinating – his views were sometimes startling and outrageous and his personal life was complex. Despite the opinion he had of himself as a genius without any faults, he was a spendthrift, a womanizer and designed several buildings with leaking roof or bulging walls. Testament to Wright’s fame, continuing importance and popularity, is the fact that even after his death, his designs (primarily those genuinely planned by Wright, but for some reason never actually carried out) continue to be built. While most other architect’s blueprints lie rolled and forgotten – even during their lifetime – Wright is the exception and several of his designs have been completed since his death in 1959.
