Again, Rachel

In Again, Rachel, Marian Keyes masterfully blends humour, heartache, and hope as she revisits Rachel Walsh, a beloved character from her earlier work. Set in the contemporary landscape, Rachel has moved on from the troubled days of her youth in the nineties. With a transformative stay in rehab behind her, Rachel's life has flourished. She enjoys a fulfilling career as an addiction counsellor, cherishes her supportive family, and has found love again. Rachel even discovers a new passion for gardening and indulges in collecting stylish, expensive trainers.

However, life has a way of throwing curveballs when least expected. The sudden return of a man from Rachel's past shakes the foundations of her seemingly perfect world. While she believed herself to be on a steady path, this unexpected reappearance causes her to question everything she thought was certain. Can Rachel stay true to the progress she's made, or will the ghosts of her past pull her back into old habits?

Again, Rachel delves deep into themes of recovery, the complexity of relationships, and the idea that personal growth is an ongoing journey, regardless of age. It's a poignant reminder that life's changes are unavoidable, and sometimes, revisiting the past is necessary to fully embrace the future.

Marian Keyes' finely-tuned narrative and rich character development make this book a must-read, whether you're meeting Rachel for the first time or have been a long-time fan. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions as Rachel navigates love, loss, and the inevitable reality that life always has a few more lessons in store.

About the Author

Marian Keyes is a phenomenon. The multi-million copy, internationally bestselling author of some of the most widely loved, genre-defying novels of the past thirty years - such as Rachel's Holiday, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups - has millions of fans around the world. They are irresistibly drawn by her warmth and wit, fearless honesty, relatable characters and relationships, and sheer storytelling magic. Not only has Marian inspired and entertained countless readers, but also the next generation of writers too. As a beloved author herself, Marian is a passionate champion of storytellers everywhere, playing an active role in encouraging new voices. She has been the chair of judges for the Comedy Women in Print prize, a sponsor of the Curtis Brown Creative Marian Keyes scholarship, and most recently ran her own hugely popular Instagram Live series bringing free creative writing courses to thousands of viewers. Marian also uses her position to raise some of the most challenging issues of our time, including addiction, immigration, depression, domestic violence and the Repeal the Eighth campaign. Both critically acclaimed and commercially unstoppable, Marian's fourteenth novel Grown Ups went straight to No.1 in hardback and paperback in four global territories- UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards Audiobook of the Year. In addition to her novels, Marian has written two collections of journalism, as well as been the star of the second series of her hit show Between Ourselves aired on BBC Radio 4 at the start of 2021. Again Rachel, the sequel to her ground-breaking novel Rachel's Holiday, will be Marian's fifteenth novel. Marian is based in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.
