What to expect
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?

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
Sunday Times

No other author marries heartbreak and hilarity so seamlessly

Love love love Marian Keyes she is amazing. I I truly enjoyed this book and it didn't disappoint as a follow on from Rachel's Holiday. Keeping my fingers crossed that maybe she will revisit some of the other Walsh family. I have read all of Marian Keyes books and every one is a gem. She covers topics in such a sensitive but honest way and as always so much Irish humour too. I loved that Marian narrated the book herself it was a great touch that made the whole listening experience very enjoyable. I would normally read a book but I have started listening to books while I'm painting and it works really well. I would highly recommend this book 💖
