Story on the scandalous love affair of Mamah Borthwick Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright. Nancy Horan's well researched book is told from Mamah's point of view and provokes deep thought on the subject of women's roles and the responsibilities of a mother versus the need to live an "authentic" life.

I recently reread this book nearly 40 years since the first time I read it as an 11-year old and it damned sure holds up. In fact, I'm impressed by my 11-year-old self for recognizing its genius and loving it so completely.
