About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by Marian Keyes and featuring an exclusive Q&A between Graham Norton and Marian Keyes.

Twenty-five years after the iconic, 1.5 million-copy bestseller Rachel's Holiday burst into our lives, Rachel's BACK!

Back in the long ago nineties, Rachel Walsh was a mess.

But a spell in rehab transformed everything. Life became very good, very quickly. These days, Rachel has love, family, a great job as an addiction counsellor, she even gardens. Her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive trainers.

But with the sudden reappearance of a man she'd once loved, her life wobbles.

She'd thought she was settled. Fixed forever. Is she about to discover that no matter what our age, everything can change?

Is it time to think again, Rachel?

Critic Reviews

Again, Rachel has all of Keyes's trademark wit, humour and whip-smart dialogue, but it's also a novel teeming with compassion and redemption
Delightfully funny
Perceptive, hilarious and moving, it's a captivating roller coaster of a read and it's a joy to be reunited with Rachel and the rest of the Walsh clan.
Again, Rachel is fabulous. Beautifully written, pure 5-star Keyes - clever, lively, funny, compelling (Nina Stibbe)
Funny, heartbreaking, achingly real - Keyes has done it again. Gorgeous. I absolutely loved it (Jane Fallon)
It will break your heart and nourish your soul . . . No one can evoke deep feeling with such a light touch as Marian Keyes. She brings her characters to life with Dickensian brio. I think it might be her finest novel yet (Nigella Lawson)
It's excellent and it's everything. Funny, gorgeous, but a painful, powerful story about addiction, emotions and humanity. Exquisite (Daisy Buchanan)
A sequel worth the wait . . This garrulous, fast-paced read offers the joy of a reunion with not just Rachel, but the rambunctious Walsh clan. An entertaining, growingly poignant contemporary tale
No other author marries heartbreak and hilarity so seamlessly
Addictive . . . Marian's mastery of story and character is as impressive as ever, and the whole thing rings totally true from start to finish
All stars

It's been a long time since I've been so engaged and affected by a book. Marian Keyes approached a difficult topic with so much humour and wit.
Your words touched my consciousness and I believe there is a little of Rachel in all of us...
Addictions and grief pervade many of our lives and you personalised and de-stigmatised a common struggle. making us see the human condition in gentle, sweet and funny way.
Thank you xx

At first I wasn’t so sure about Marian Keyes narration only because I know Rachel as Gerri Halligan, but of course Marian does it justice. It was great following up with Rachel in the present day. I love these books!

Hoping there’s a 3rd book
