Produktinformationen zu „The Women “
<div>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.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>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. </div>
<div></div>
<div>Sharp, savage and subtle in equal measure, The Women plumbs the chaos, horrors and uncontainable passions of a fascinating American icon. </div>

Rezension zu „The Women “
'Boyle is a gifted and empathic satirist, the finest craftsman masked as a pop-literary author current American fiction has. He's a writer unafraid of the grand gesture'
