Krátky popis
In a rural backwater in Wisconsin lies the rambling estate of
Taliesin. Here, tempestuous affairs rage behind closed doors,
broken hearts are tossed aside and fires have ripped through the
wings of the house. Paparazzi lie in wait outside the front door,
hounding for the latest scandal, the latest tragedy in this
never-ending drama. For this is the home of the great architect of
the twentieth century, Frank Lloyd Wright, a man of extremes in
both his work and his private life: at once a force of nature -
arrogant and infuriating - and an avalanche of need and emotion
that sweeps aside everything in its path. This is the story of the
wives and mistresses who fall under Frank's spell. There is the
delusional Kitty, his first wife, convinced that his affair with
the defiant Mamah can't possibly last. There is Miriam, his crazed,
demented second wife, hell-bent on wreaking revenge most public and
most vicious after the bitter demise of their marriage.And there is
Oglivanna, the Serbian immigrant, who waits with Frank in constant
terror for the next wave of desolation from Miriam as she stalks
them at every turn, unleashing a torrent of sheriffs, immigration
officials, bankers, lawyers and journalists. Sharp, savage and
subtle in equal measure, The Women plumbs the chaos, horrors and
uncontainable passions of a fascinating American icon.
