Summary

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)

Fantastic!!!

I love Marian’s books and this one was brilliant too. I love her voice and accept which adds to the richness of the very entertaining story. Very realistic telling of addiction and respect to Marian for writing it in such an insightful, funny way.

absolutely fantastic! Good to hear Rachel again

Absolutely stoked to catch up with Rachel once more. Delicately navigated around sensitive subjects with grace. It was wonderful to listen to and well worth the count down. Hopefully they'll be more in the Walsh series?

I loved it!

Marion never fails to tell a real love story entwined with an awful tragedy.

Tears and laughter

I stumbled upon Rachel’s holiday on Audible after reading/listening to my first Marian Keyes book - Grown Ups (sorry Marian, I just had the wrong impression about your books.) I was absolutely gutted when I completed the audiobook.
Then, shopping in my local Tescos one day , I saw a ‘Rachel, again’ sign saying it was coming soon. I googled it immediately- yes it was the same character - I was thrilled.
I’ve listened to this in about 6 days (I’d have liked to have listened a great deal more each day, but unfortunately I have to go to work and speak to my children/husband occasionally too in between.)
You will need tissues and you will laugh out loud too - but still listen to it in public as you travel, walk or do the boring weekly shop. Enjoy, and thanks Marian for the brilliant writing and reading aloud!

what a fantastic return

This was magnificent. It was so nice to be immersed back into the Walsh family. I really hope we see more! Great narration from Marian herself too.

Absolutely brilliant!

Having read Rachel’s Holiday a long time ago, I was excited to read (listen) to this book and I was not disappointed in the slightest!
From the very start I was back with Rachel on her journey and happily imagining I was with her every step of the way!
This book has made me laugh, cry, become angry and laugh some more! It was fantastic and gripping from the off!
Thank you to Marian Keyes for another incredible story!

Just wonderful

I’d fully advise you to read/reread/listen to Rachel’s Holiday first because it’s such a delicious book and you don’t feel sad when it’s ended when Rachel Again is waiting for you.
Rachel Again stands on its own but I’d loved the binge listen.
Marian Keyes‘ narration is first class, everything about this book is first class.
