You Are Here

You Are Here, the latest novel by bestselling author David Nicholls, weaves a heartwarming tale of two individuals at life's crossroads. The plot centres on Marnie, who finds herself stuck in a rut, working in the confines of her London flat. Plagued by the monotony of her routine, she spends her days longing for something more. Michael, on the other hand, is grappling with the aftermath of his wife’s departure. His life has turned into a series of lonely excursions across the moors and fells, where he seeks solace and understanding.

Fate, along with a well-meaning mutual friend and some quintessentially English weather, conspire to bring Marnie and Michael together on an unexpected journey. What begins as a solitary walk transforms into an epic adventure, setting the stage for a meaningful connection. As they traverse the picturesque landscapes, a budding friendship forms, laden with the promise of new beginnings and the possibility of healing their fractured lives.

But can they survive the journey?
