Read this with my womens book club - it wasn't one of my favorites. I struggled to feel more empathy for the main character of the novel, which was based on information that could be gathered from few sources and some conjecture of connecting some dots....and although I feel sympathy for women of that time period and the very limited choices available, I could not come to terms with all of the choices made by this women portrayed in the novel and how she justified them. An incredibly brilliant woman by all accounts - so the reasons given for her decisions didn't hold true for me...something seemed missing. Well, yes, much of the facts - but it seems like the writer missed something (this is her first novel)of depth here. On the other hand, sometimes brilliant people can be very selfish....there is a difference between smart people and wise people...so I don't know! Frank Lloyd Wright sure came off as a self-centered and brilliant architect who couldn't help thinking that his type has different rules in life than the average bear because he had so much to offer mankind with his "gifts". Made me want to reread The Fountainhead though.
** spoiler alert ** I hate that Holly lost her eyesight but I'm just glad that the book was even written.
