Guest Book Review: Beth Moran - Making Marion

Reviewed by Tanya Phillips

Will Marion Miller find her heart's desire – and perhaps even love – in Robin Hood country?

Marion came to Nottinghamshire to discover her father’s mysterious past, but all she has to go on is a picture of her father dressed up, it would seem, as Robin Hood.

Whilst looking for somewhere to stay, she somehow finds herself on the wrong side of the reception desk at the Peace and Pigs campsite and, despite her horrible shyness, promptly lands herself a job.

It takes Marion all she’s got to come out of her shell and get to grips with life on a busy campsite, where the chickens seem determined to hinder her and an unfortunate incident with a runaway bike throws her into the arms of the beautiful, but deeply unimpressed, Reuben. However, Marion’s would-be boyfriend Jake and Reuben’s stunning fiancée Erica seem intent on thwarting any hint of romance between the two of them.

Can she really find peace, and perhaps even love, among the pigs?

Can you tell us a little bit about your debut book Making Marion?
Making Marion is about a troubled young woman, Marion, who flees her wretched life in Northern Ireland and comes to Sherwood Forest to try to find the secret of her dead father`s past. She ends up with a live in job at a campsite run by a remarkable woman, Scarlett. As she settles in to her new life, she begins to uncover the truth about her dad, while actually discovering a lot more about herself. It`s got a mystery, some humour and a sprinkle of romance, but ultimately is a story about hope.
