Welcome to the troubled, tempestuous world of Frank Lloyd Wright. Scandalous affairs rage behind closed doors, broken hearts are tossed aside, fires rip through the wings of the house and paparazzi lie in wait outside the front door for the latest tragedy in this never-ending saga. This is the home of the great architect of the twentieth century, a man of extremes in both his work and his private life: at once a force of nature and an avalanche of need and emotion that sweeps aside everything in its path. Sharp, savage and subtle in equal measure, "The Women" plumbs the chaos, horrors and uncontainable passions of a formidable American icon.

This book is an interesting account of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright and the women he loved. Having read "Loving Frank", I knew about his relationship with his wife and Mamah, the woman who gave up her husband and children to be with him.. This book takes you beyond them to the women who became his second and third wives. Boyle writes well, but be prepared to use a dictionary when you read...or try to figure out the meanings in context!
Wright was a brilliant, eccentric, egotistical man. I enjoyed reading more about him and the women who chose to live with him.

Disappointed
I was disappointed with this book after having read "Loving Frank" recently. I just couldn't become absorbed like I was with the story of Frank and his mistress, Mama.

Frank Lloyd Wright and his Women
Mr. Boyle presents a fascinating portrait of the great American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, that is by turns thrilling, appalling, inspirational and humorous. Throughout his life, Wright pursued, and was pursued by, glamorous and attractive women. Boyle tells the story of Wright as seen through the eyes of his women, as told by a Japanese apprentice architect who idolizes Wright, but is keenly aware of Wright's shortcomings, especially his financial immaturity (to put a kind gloss on it.) In an interesting twist, Boyle begins at the end, with Oglivianna, the last of his wives, and works backwards. We thus see a succession of relationships develop and dissolve, as Wright falls in love with newer, younger woman. One inwardly shudders as Wright deals with women who literally go over the top (Miriam!) in their efforts to salvage their relationships when Wright spies a new conquest. This story is told against the background of Wright's inspiring architecture, especially his design and construction of successive versions of Taliesen in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and the puritanical and hypocritical American society of time, who saw Wright as a God-less menance to stable marriages.
This is the first time I've read a book by T.C. Boyle and I must say I am enormously impressed. He writes an enthralling story, filled with period detail that at times make it seem more an historically accurate biography than a novel. But what a novel it is! One is absolutely absorbed in Wright's story and the women who loved him. Highly recommended.
