Description
Frank Lloyd Wright's life was forever changed when he fell in love with Mamah Cheney, a client's wife. Their scandalous affair led to them abandoning their families and reputations, fleeing to Europe and exile. This biographical novel tells the story of Mamah's life as Frank's muse and soulmate, exploring the extraordinary price she paid for moving outside society's rules. In a time when women were expected to conform to traditional roles, Mamah's love for Frank was unstoppable. However, her actions also brought her persecution from polite Chicago society, who saw her as an unnatural mother. This portrait of her life is a moving and passionate love story with a shocking conclusion. Mamah's story is one of headstrong determination and honesty, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America.
