I'm ordinarily not a fan of fictionalized accounts of real people's lives, but Nancy Horan's novel about Frank Loyd Wright's love affair with Mamah Cheney—a client who was married and the mother of two— was so enticing that, once I started reading, I was hooked. After a few chapters, I realized that I had read something about the horrific events that were to come in a magazine article about Wright and Taliesen, the house he built in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Reading about it all in a fictional narrative was so much more compelling. In Loving Frank, even the minor characters become real, and the facts are filled out with emotion and suspense. This is Horan's first novel, and it's a corker.
