Because of the popularity of Loving Frank: A Novel, (our book selection for last February), Taliesin has initiated a new tour of the grounds specifically related to the details of the book.
Called the Loving Frank Tour, it is to be held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month from May through October. It will include readings from the book and a stop at a nearby cemetery to see Mamah Borthwick's grave.

According to a news blurb in the Pioneer Press, (April 26, 2010), visits to the home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright had record attendance last season to the tune of about 28,500 people. The surge in interest has been credited to the novel by Nancy Horan.
