"The highs and lows of falling in love—compelling."—The Times, London "If it is the mark of a good book that the essence of it lingers long after you have put it down, then Making Love is impressive.  Poignant and written with an erotic charge, the narrator’s emptiness and inner loneliness still haunt me."—Anna Pasternak, Literary Review "Making Love charts the narrator’s own wild years with wit, charm, and sensuousness.  Sex, drugs and rock n’ roll combine to paint a vivid picture of the recent past with tenderness and unsurpassed honesty."—Shena MacKay, Good Book Guide "Stewart’s first novel . . . is a picaresque tale of innumerable seductions in various locations. . . . The range of men who pass in and out of the text would make your eyes water."—The Guardian, London "The pleasures of reading about obsessive love that has no future are, of course, many. This is a swift, smart, sharply self-aware account of a woman who loves love, particularly in its more difficult and aggravating guises."—Joy Williams, author of The Quick and the Dead “Lucretia Stewart confronts a variety of issues including the death of a parent, a doomed love affair, and a women’s personal growth. In doing so, she forces us to face life as her herione experiences it, initially with hope, then despair, and ultimately with courage and realism.”—The Baltimore Review, 2004
