Heart-warming and hilarious, it’s the perfect soundtrack to your morning commute (even better if that commute is still from the bed to the kitchen).Popular fiction for women has been variously criticised and derided for a focus on romance plots and superficial themes.

So far, the duo has addressed awkward in-laws, frizzy hair and badly-dressed boyfriends. Her new show Now You’re Asking, which she co-hosts with Irish comedian Tara Flynn, sees her attempt to solve listeners' problems. When you finish Again, Rachel you can find more Marian Keyes on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay I am finished - and I need more Marian But in a recent interview with The Guardian, Keyes said, for an addict “every single day there is a possibility that your life could kind of slip off, slip out of being normal and fall through the cracks again.” Rachel, like Marian, has been sober since her stint in rehab almost three decades ago. The novel will centre around Luke coming back into Rachel’s life, and the everyday difficulties of being a recovering addict. There’s also a host of new characters in the form of Rachel’s ‘ducklings’ - that is the addicts she’s helping in The Cloisters. The pair met at a meditation retreat a couple of years ago and he knows “all the smartest restaurants” in Dublin. Luke Costello also returns to shake things up. There are the four other Walsh sisters - Claire, Maggie, Anna and Helen - some of whom are leaving wildly different lives… as well as mammy and daddy Walsh. But then her ex-husband returns, and her life is thrown back into chaos…Īs well as our heroine Rachel, all of the Walshes are back for this latest instalment. She’s now Head Addiction Counsellor in the rehab centre she once attended and her only bad habit is a fondness for expensive trainers.

Rachel is now a forty-something divorcee, with a steady job, a dog and a new man, Quin. However, if you would like to go back and enjoy the books in the order, you should start with Watermelon, then Rachel's Holiday, Angels, Anybody Out There, The Mystery of Mercy Close and finally, Again, Rachel. Nope! Again, Rachel is part of a series of books about the Walsh family, but they can all be read as stand-alones. It's a sequel - do I have to go back and read Rachel's Holiday first? I LOVED writing it and I hope you enjoy catching up with her and all the Walshes #RachelsBack - Marian Keyes February 17, 2022 Hello! Its February 17th and Rachel’s back! Thank you, ALL of you, for your enthusiasm and excitement about #AgainRachel. While Marian said she always resisted the idea of writing a sequel, she said she was drawn back to Rachel because of their shared connection as addicts. Again, Rachel picks up twenty-five years later. In the first instalment, Rachel Walsh is sent to The Cloisters, a rehab facility, to tackle her booze and cocaine addiction. Again, Rachel is the sequel to Rachel’s Holiday, one of Marian Keyes’ best-selling books.
