I was just thinking it seemed like there was nothing in life to look forward to, but it turns out there IS!

Twenty-five years ago, Rachels' Holiday was published and there are millions of us who were overjoyed when we learnt that Marian Keyes had penned the sequel。 Whilst Rachel's Holiday was not the first book about the Walsh family; Watermelon takes that place and was published a couple of years prior to Rachel, there is no doubt that Rachel's Holiday was the book that really made us readers fall for the family。Again, Rachel is an absolute triumph。 It has everything that any Walsh family fan could w Twenty-five years ago, Rachels' Holiday was published and there are millions of us who were overjoyed when we learnt that Marian Keyes had penned the sequel。 Whilst Rachel's Holiday was not the first book about the Walsh family; Watermelon takes that place and was published a couple of years prior to Rachel, there is no doubt that Rachel's Holiday was the book that really made us readers fall for the family。Again, Rachel is an absolute triumph。 It has everything that any Walsh family fan could wish for, and more。 It is packed to the rafters with those familiar, hilarious sayings that are uttered by the magnificent Mammy Walsh, yet it will totally break the reader in places。 Marian Keyes does not allow her characters to glide through life unscathed 。。。 not at all。 I cannot tell you what has happened since we left Rachel at the end of Rachel's Holiday, and it's almost impossible to tell you about the events in this new story。 Yes, I'm being vague, but it is not for me to spoil the story, you really do need to discover for yourselves。 I can tell you that Rachel seems to be in a very good place as the story begins; she has a great job as head counsellor at The Cloisters, she is in love, all of her family are around her and she's discovered a love for gardening。 Addiction is a thing of the past, except for fancy trainers and a hankering after a Chanel handbag, but who doesn't share those loves?It's a phone call that turns this story on its head。 Readers will have come to some conclusions about things that may have happened in previous years, but that phone call confirms things。 One very quick message will go on to make Rachel take stock of her current life, re-evaluate things that have happened in the past, and look very hard at where future Rachel may go。 I can talk about Rachels 'ducklings'; her client group at The Cloisters。 Keyes very cleverly incorporates the lives of those who Rachel helps so very well into this novel。 Each of them have their own wonderfully created story, and each of them shines a light on some of the darkest of issues。 It's an ingenious way of dealing with social issues that can shatter lives, whilst doing so with the warm and belly-laugh humour that the author is so good at。 Again, Rachel is a wise and wonderful look at life today。 It is incredibly perceptive whilst being so damn funny in places。 I wept, I wept more than once。 I also laughed so loud, I read out passages to my husband, I was totally and utterly bewitched by the story。 It consumed every moment and I turned the final page with a little sob。Thank you Marian Keyes。 Thank you for bringing Rachel and the whole Walsh family back。 What an absolute gift this is! 。。。more
