SUMMARY:The Genre Jumpers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our second adult book club\, The Genre Jumpers\, meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm. We read and discuss the same book\, we read 3 months of one genre then JUMP to the next. This book club is currently full\, but you may be added to the wait list in the event of a participant dropping out. \n  \nNOTE: JULY & NOVEMBER’s MEETINGS ARE MOVED THE WEDNESDAYS AFTER THE TUESDAY IT SHOULD BE! \n  \nFor this month we are discussing our 3rd of 3 Historical Fiction: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. \n“I have been standing on the side of life\, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current. \nSo writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier\, in 1903\, Mamah and her husband\, Edwin\, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house\, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank\, and in time the lovers\, each married with children\, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. \nIn this ambitious debut novel\, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America’s greatest architect\, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney’s profound influence on Wright. \nDrawing on years of research\, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative\, vividly portraying the conflicts and struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of mother\, wife\, lover\, and intellectual. Horan’s Mamah is a woman seeking to find her own place\, her own creative calling in the world. Mamah’s is an unforgettable journey marked by choices that reshape her notions of love and responsibility\, leading inexorably ultimately lead to this novel’s stunning conclusion. \nElegantly written and remarkably rich in detail\, Loving Frank is a fitting tribute to a courageous woman\, a national icon\, and their timeless love story.” \n
