Marian Keyes answers listeners鈥� questions about her novel Rachel鈥檚 Holiday, a comic romance with a twist.

World Book Club talks life, sex, drugs, if not rock 鈥榥鈥� roll to chart-topping Irish writer Marian Keyes about her best-selling novel Rachel鈥檚 Holiday. She answers 麻豆社 listeners' questions from around the world, and also reads several passages from her novel, about feisty 27-year-old Rachel, who is sent to a rehab clinic because of her addiction to drugs. Both funny and moving, Rachel鈥檚 Holiday examines the pain of addiction and depression, revealing a darker than usual side to Marian鈥檚 writing. The programme is presented by Harriett Gilbert.
