Nancy Horan's provocative and moving debut novel, Loving Frank, examines an era in architect Frank Lloyd Wright's career that is rarely considered, even by the the most avid followers of his Prairie School.
When our Borders book club sat down to discuss the book, we were surprised by what we discovered: that every single person in the group had a passionately strong viewpoint on Wright's love affair with Mamah Borthwick Cheney. Perhaps most surprising, though, was how viscerally readers responded to Cheney's decision to choose her love of Wright over her own family.
Was it a desperate act of self-preservation? If not, what could cause a woman to leave her own children for another man? These questions came up, and we thought we'd take the conversation to Gather.
