The Fountainhead from a young girls point of view,
By Izzy (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fountainhead : A Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration (Paperback)
From being secretly admired yet shunned for his bizarre modernistic architectural style, from being loved and loathed alike by the only woman he will ever have, this story of Howard Roark is both compelling and heartbreaking. Set in the roaring 20's, though not any of the focus of the book, Howard Roark sets off to do what he loves, having no one stand in his way and having no one tell him how to do what he is meant to do. To have the only woman he is ever to love marry the man he hates the most, and to make it at what he does the best. Architecture.
