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 one-and-a-half-million-copy best seller Rachel's Holiday burst into our lives, Rachel's back!

Back in the long ago '90s, 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

"Such a treat. Like reading the cleverest cream cake of words." (Caitlin Moran)

"Superb. Warm-hearted, wise and highly entertaining." (Observer)

"Messy, tangled complex humans who reminded me that few of us ever really sort our lives out at all." (Jojo Moyes, best-selling author of Me Before You)

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

This was favourite Marian Keyes book yet! Funny, warm, heartbreaking, down to earth and full of love, it was the perfect follow up to Rachel’s Holiday. Absolutely loved it and was so sad when it ended!

It was great to revisit the Walsh family. Loved Rachel's second story. Felt sad, laughed and hoped. And loved seeing where Helen was at.

I loved and laughed in Rachel’s holiday 20 years ago! Was tempted to re-read it but thought why when I could listen to Again Rachel with Marian reading it!
I laughed out loud so many times! But just loved all the real-ness of life and characters! These books make me wish I had sisters!

I loved this book!!

I’ve just discovered Marian Keyes, and after listening to Rachel’s Holiday I HAD TO listen to Again, Rachel.

I might be having all my internal thoughts in a beautiful Irish accent, but I have no regrets. Both books are completely enthralling, and had me unapologetically attached to Rachel and the other characters. I love the depth of emotions that Keyes is able to take us through… these stories and how they made me feel will stay with me forever.

These books have it all. Do yourself a favour and listen! Then listen or read them again.

I am obsessed!

Marian Keyes is my favourite author, and Rachel's holiday is my favourite book. I was so thrilled to see she'd written a sequel, and it completely lived up to my wildest expectations! It was so so lovely to hear the story in Marian's voice.

LOVED this

It’s been a while since I have read a Marian Keys and it did not disappoint. I feel like I need to go back to the original Rachel story.

Loved every minute of this story
