  • MediaDB / «Rachel's Vacation" by Marianne Case: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2004 / Meet Rachel Walsh, twenty-seven years old, tall, Irish, lives in New York. She is dating Luke Costello, a dazzling handsome man in leather trousers, and is into - some say too much - recreational drugs. A little Valium to relax, a little cocaine to cheer you up, and then alcohol - where would you be without it? But she’s not a drug addict, so why was she put away in a specialized clinic? On the other hand, Rachel is so tired - a little vacation with a hydromassage and a jacuzzi in the company of vicious rock stars will not harm her... However, reality invariably appears through any self-deception. Starting as a fun little girl's read, the novel develops into a poignant, serious narrative - while remaining hilariously funny and absolutely recognizable.
