Book Jacket Summary: “I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current.” So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction between Mamah and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives.

Review: I bought this book because it was about Frank Lloyd Wright, and my husband is obsessed with him. I had no idea what to expect going into reading it. The book is very well written, and the character of Mamah is endearing. It is an enthralling read right down to the last page.

Rating: Lovers of historical fiction gather round!
