BOOKSELLER KERRY’S PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION
This weeks recommendation comes from bookseller Kerry and it is Again, Rachel by Marian Keyes.
“Set 25 years after Rachel's Holiday, this long-awaited sequel sees the return of our beloved heroine and the rest of the eccentric Walsh family.
“The story follows Rachel as she navigates life as an addiction counsellor, and how she deals with the sudden reappearance of old flame Luke Costello.
“Rachel's Holiday having always been my favourite Marian Keyes book (big, bold statement!), I was worried that the overdue sequel would fall short. I am delighted to say I was wrong. Again, Rachel has all the warmth and wit of the first.
“This book had me laughing and crying in equal measure – a must read! This is another perfect gift for Mother's Day.”
