This is a fascinating account of two intelligent people who pursue their dreams and face their demons. Mamah, who falls in love with Wright, struggles to balance traditional roles with her personal & intellectual; this need resonates even today. Mamah Cheney's translation abilities leads her to a woman who is in the forefront of the woman's movement (dealing with roles, responsibilities, and sex.) Frank Lloyd Wright is an architect who is ahead of his time; he breaks the barriers in architecture and his personal life.
