Reviews
"[A] thoughtful debut novel [that] pits morality against passion . . . the perfect selection to jump-start some satisfyingly heated arguments within your book club." -- USA Today "The powerful writing imbues the tale with the terrible inevitability of a Greek tragedy." -- Chicago " Loving Frank reveals what we expect to get from great fiction: timeless truths about ourselves." --New York Daily News "In Mamah, Horan creates an unforgettably complex heroine." -- The Washington Post "A glory to behold." -- New York "The conclusion . . . is unexpectedly powerful." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "An impressive and admirable debut . . . If Frank Lloyd Wright is the reason people will pick up this book, Mamah Borthwick is the reason they will keep reading it . . . Loving Frank [is] a beautifully designed, innovative and noteworthy work of art." -- Chicago Tribune "It takes great courage to write a novel about historical people, and in particular to give voice to someone as mythic as Frank Lloyd Wright. This beautifully written novel about Mamah Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright's love affair is vivid and intelligent, unsentimental and compassionate." --Jane Hamilton, author of When Madeline Was Young "Horan's nuanced evocation of these flawed human beings plays beautifully against the lurid facts of their situation. As in the best historical fiction, she finds both the truth and the heart of her story." -- Los Angeles Times "[Nancy Horan] does well to avoid serving up a bodice-ripper for the smart set. . . . She succeeds in conveying the emotional center of her protagonist, whom she paints as a protofeminist, an educated woman fettered by the role of bourgeois matriarch." -- The New Yorker " Loving Frank is one of those novels that take over your life. It's mesmerizing and fascinating--filled with complex characters, deep passions, tactile descriptions of astonishing architecture, and the colorful immediacy of daily life a hundred years ago--all gathered into a story that unfolds with riveting urgency." --Lauren Belfer, author of Ashton Hall "This gripping historical novel offers new insight into the mind of an American icon through the woman he loved." -- Parade "I admire this novel, adore this novel, for so many reasons: The intelligence and lyricism of the prose. The attention to period detail. The epic proportions of this most fascinating love story. Mamah Cheney has been in my head and heart and soul since reading this book; I doubt she'll ever leave." --Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv "Using material gleaned from seven years of careful research, author Nancy Horan suceeds in getting inside the mind of Wright's 'soul mate' and making their relationship real." -- Desert Morning News " Loving Frank is a novel of impressive scope and ambition." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Advance praise for Loving Frank "This graceful, assured first novel tells the remarkable story of the long-lived affair between Frank Lloyd Wright, a passionate and impossible figure, and Mamah Cheney, a married woman whom Wright beguiled and led beyond the restraint of convention. It is engrossing, provocative reading." Scott Turow "It takes great courage to write a novel about historical people, and in particular to give voice to someone as mythic as Frank Lloyd Wright.
