Loving Frank by Nancy Horan

Format & Condition: Paperback, Very Good
Genre: Historical Fiction

When Mamah Borthwick Cheney and her husband commission a home from architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a connection develops that reaches far beyond its design. Mamah and Frank’s ensuing affair challenges their marriages, shocks Chicago society, and forces Mamah to confront the tension between family responsibilities and her desire for an independent life.

Inspired by real events, this novel brings a woman often overshadowed by a famous man into focus. I recommend it for readers who love historical fiction about complicated women, difficult choices, and the intersection of art, architecture, and personal ambition.
