Making Marion by Beth Moran Book Tour and Book Review



Description:
She had been looking for somewhere to stay, but instead Marion Miller finds herself on the wrong side of the reception desk at the Peace and Pigs campground and, despite her horrible shyness, promptly lands herself a job.
Marion came to Nottinghamshire--home of Sherwood Forest--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.
Life on a busy campground challenges Marion's formerly controlled life--the pigs roam free, the resident chickens seem determined to thwart her, and an unfortunate incident with a runaway bike throws her into the arms of the beautiful, but deeply unimpressed, Reuben.
Yet, Marion's would-be boyfriend Jake, and Reuben's stunning fiancée Erica, conspire to leave little room for Marion to daydream about the twinkling eyes of her rescuer . . . Will Marion ever find peace, and perhaps even love, among the pigs?
Including a large cast of memorable, colorful characters, Making Marion is an outstanding debut romantic comedy that touches on issues of identity and family with a natural ease.

 



Reviews
Review   Publishers Weekly - June 6, 2014
"One of the best inspirational novels of the season, a marvelous debut by a British author to watch."
Review   Library Journal - June 15, 2014
Starred review "This humorous and tender story about a girl who discovers who she is in the wrong place at the right time will charm fans of women's fiction and readers seeking a fresh, funny, and heartfelt tale in the tradition of Helen Fielding and Sophie Kinsella."

My review;

I just  finished reading "Making Marion" and I am a little confused.   Marion is a young woman who has to deal with a terrible childhood after her father dies. Her mother always blames her and cannot stop. I thought this was going to be a different kind of novel after I read the reviews and I looked at the cover. The characters are strong and the storyline is strong. I did not see the humor in the story. I felt very sorry for her childhood.   I give this book a 4/5.   I wsa given this book by Kregel Publication and all opinions are my own.
