This is a great book, particularly if you have any interest at all in Frank Lloyd Wright (especially if you are unfamiliar with Mamah Borthwick), since it follows the historical details as closely as possible. This means, of course, that all the major events in the book are real and true, which just makes the ending all the more emotional. Yes, there were some parts that were slower than the rest, and some details that didn't seem important until later, if they became important at all. So, it can drag a little at times, but it definitely picks up the further you get into it, and the end definitely redeems any flaws that there may be earlier in the book. A lot of people make the mistake of not finishing this one due to the weak beginning, but if ever there was a book worth forcing yourself to read further in, this is definitely one of them.
