Synopsis
He was out of her league. She was out of her depth.
When Miranda, the Miss Lonely Hearts of Shepherd's Bush, suddenly finds herself romanced by a tall, dark and deadly spy, she finds her life turned upside down. Could it have anything to do with the book she innocently took from the library, a book with a conspiracy theory about 'love' so devastating that every other copy has been destroyed by MI5 and the writer 'disappeared'?
Spliced through Miranda's romantic adventure are pages from the 'lost' book itself. But the loudest voice in this piece of postmodern madness belongs to the lovelorn book itself, a sentient mass of paper and ink that cannot help falling in love with its reader ...

Review
"'As a rule, if a book starts talking to you ... head for funny farm. While you're down there, you might meet Marius Brill, who has produced a book that does precisely that, one so entirely fantastical as to be quite scary ... An oddity to savour'" (Arena)
"'Enjoyable comic tale enhanced by some genuine philosophical questions'" (Books)
"'Fantastic, hilarious ... verbal pyrotechnics, supported by a fecund imagination of the first order'" (The Times)
"'An absurd, hilarious, spy-cum-action-cum-postmodern thriller, Making Love is incredibly clever without showing off, self-referential without being self-congratulatory, and a damn good read. Fantastic'" (The List)
"'An exceptional piece of writing...Making Love is as winning a first novel as I have read in a long time'" (Sunday Telegraph)
Book Description
An ingenious comic thriller and a treatise about love, from a brilliant new voice
