David Nicholls

The recent Netflix series of One Day reminded a wider audience of what a wonderful writer David is and persuaded many to read his other novels. You Are Here is a love story that unfolds on a walk across the north of England – ten days in the Lakes, the Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. It’s the moving and atmospheric story of two lonely people, Michael and Marnie, both of them a little lost and wary of new company. But, over many miles, as they start to talk and share stories, the possibility of a new beginning opens up before them. You Are Here is David Nicholls at his very best: witty, unexpected, thoughtful, perfectly attuned to the motions of the human heart – and written in effortless, stunning prose. It is a novel of first encounters, second chances and finding the way home.
