Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
eAudiobook
eBook
This is a fictionalized account of the relationship between Mamah Borthwick Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright.
The couple met after Mamah and her husband Edwin Cheney contracted the architect to design their new home. Although Wright was also married, he and Mamah began a passionate and highly publicized affair that shocked Chicago high society. With her reputation destroyed and his career damaged, Mamah and Frank left their respective families to live together in Europe amid the public frenzy.
In Europe the couple found privacy and acceptance of their relationship. Mamah, an early feminist, had an outlet for her intellectual interests, working as a translator. Although Mamah was happy in Europe, Frank convinced her to return to the United States–a decision that would have tragic consequences.
