麻豆约拍

Chart-topping Irish writer Marian Keyes talks life, sex, drugs - if not rock 'n' roll - to Harriett Gilbert about her best-selling novel Rachel's Holiday.

She answers 麻豆约拍 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's Holiday examines the pain of addiction and depression, revealing a darker than usual side to Marian's writing.

First broadcast on the 麻豆约拍 World Service in May 2015.
