The Women
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Welcome to the troubled, tempestuous world of Frank Lloyd Wright. Scandalous affairs rage behind closed doors, broken hearts are tossed aside, fires rip through the wings of the house and paparazzi lie in wait outside the front door for the latest tragedy in this never-ending saga. This is the home of the great architect of the twentieth century, a man of extremes in both his work and his private life: at once a force of nature and an avalanche of need and emotion that sweeps aside everything in its path.

Conflict between art colony and small town life with its prejudices against anything extravagant. Very interesting setting in art history of the 20th century.
The Women tells the fascinating story of Frank Lloyd Wright’s wives and mistresses, why they made the choices they did, the consequences of those choices. The narrator a Japanese architect who worked for Wright, gives a unique perspective to the women’s stories.
