Deliciously dark and fantastically funny, Rachel’s Holiday is the story of a young woman living life rather too well until the day she takes it too far endangering everything she cares about . . . ‘They said I was a drug addict. But my occasional drug use was strictly recreational. And, hey, surely drug addicts are skinny?’ Rachel is living it up in New York City, spending her nights talking her way into glamorous parties before heading home in the early hours to her hot boyfriend Luke. Then her sensible older sister shows up and even though it seems like a bad joke, she finds herself in actual rehab. It’s there that she’s supposed to kick her non-existent drug habit – and to get over losing Luke. Luke’s a fox; he’s also strong and kind, but he has had more than he can take of Rachel. None of this was part of her plan and saying goodbye to fun will be hard. But not as hard as losing the man that, too late, she believes might be the love of her life . . . ‘Gloriously funny’ Sunday Times ‘A born storyteller’ Independent on Sunday ‘The voice of a generation’ Daily Mirror Author: Marian Keyes ISBN:9780241958438

Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife and mother, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles it back, a photograph falls to the ground – an old polaroid of three young women and their university professor. A relic from a past –and a love – that Peri has tried to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as a nineteen-year-old sent abroad for the first time. To her dazzling, rebellious professor and his life changing course on God. To the house she shared with her three best friends, Shirin and Mona. And finally to the scandal that tore them all apart. Shirin, Peri and Mona: they were the most unlikely friends. They were the sinner, the believer and the confused. Author:Elif Shafak ISBN:9780241288047
