The Women: A Novel

Frank Lloyd Wright s life was one long, howling struggle against the bonds of convention, whether aesthetic, social, moral, or romantic. He never did what was expected, and he never let anything get in the way of his larger-than-life appetites and visions. Told through the experiences of the four women who loved him, this imaginative account of Wright s raucous life blazes with Boyle s trademark wit and invention. Boyle s protean voice captures these very different women and, in doing so, creates a masterful ode to the creative life in all its complexity and grandeur.
