Irland, 2010-tal
Rachel är en litteraturälskande student som arbetar extra i bokhandeln. Där träffar hon den sprudlande och excentriska James som hon avgudar från första stund. Mötet blir början på en vänskap som kommer att förändra livet för dem båda. Tillsammans utforskar Rachel och James varje hörn av Corks nattliv och försöker upprätthålla en sorglös tillvaro medan finanskrisen kryper allt närmare.
När Rachel blir förtjust i sin lärare Fred Byrne hjälper James till att ordna ett författarevent i bokhandeln. Målet är att hon ska förföra sin lärare efteråt, men Fred visar sig vilja något helt annat. Det som var en oskyldig förälskelse utvecklar sig snart till något mycket mer komplicerat.
Kapitlet Rachel är en intelligent, kaxig och brännande roman om vänner, älskare och ett Irland i djup lågkonjunktur.
