About this listen

Marnie is stuck.

Stuck working alone in her London flat, stuck battling the long afternoons and a life that increasingly feels like it's passing her by.

Michael is coming undone.

Reeling from his wife's departure, increasingly reclusive, taking himself on long, solitary walks across the moors and fells.

When a persistent mutual friend and some very English weather conspire to bring them together, Marnie and Michael suddenly find themselves alone on the most epic of walks and on the precipice of a new friendship.

But can it survive the journey?

A new love story by beloved bestseller David Nicholls, You Are Here is a novel of first encounters, second chances, and finding the way home.

Editorial Review

When the journey is the destination
In classic David Nicholls style, his new sure-to-be-bestseller deftly builds rich character and connection through conversation, an approach that's absolutely perfect for audio. Performed in alternating-ish chapters by the amazing Lydia Leonard and Lee Ingleby, You Are Here provides the listener a real fly-on-the-wall effect (or perhaps in this case, fly-on-the-rucksack). What differentiates this one from some of Nicholls's other hits, and especially One Day, is the vivid, reeling moment of midlife loneliness that the two protagonists, Marnie and Michael, find themselves mired in – a state remarkably relatable to anyone of a certain age, even the most touched out, partnered parent. Organized by geography, the stretch of land ahead paves the way for the mental meanderings that come with walking. You come to know – and care for – these characters deeply, and I daresay you'll be as sorry as I was when these two finally reach their destination. —Emily C., Audible Editor

Clever soft humour

There is nothing about this book that I didn’t like. It was warm, funny, relatable. I didn’t want it to end. The characters became my friends during to the expertly written narrative. Loved it.

Classic David Nicholls

I have never met a David Nicholls book that I didn’t like. Still has the beautiful nostalgia of One Day or Sweet Sorrow but is filled with a warmth and maturity that is so easy to buy into and enjoy. Just fabulous

Utterly gorgeous

I loved it from start to finish. This is one of those books that you know you will miss the characters when you have turned the last page.

You are here

I love the naturalistic way his characters talk to each other. I wasn’t sure how it would end but couldn’t have been happier.

Smashed this in a weekend while spring cleaning my flat. Nicholls nails the female voice. Really enjoyed it.
