My very first historical fiction reading and book number three for my “Read 12 books in 2008” goal on 43Things. I read a review of the book that said something along the lines of, “If Frank Lloyd Wright is the reason why you pick up this book, Mamah Cheney Borthwick is the reason why you won’t put it down.” So true. In fact, he was the only reason why I read this book. The whole infidelity plot was a total turnoff and I picked up the book twice in as many days before I went back and finally bought it — simply because I heart FLW. I’m glad I did; it was a fabulous read. The storytelling is very engaging — I felt an intense, womanly connection and understanding with Mamah — uniquely blending fiction and fact. (August 19, here.)
