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

A lovely tale well told

I always enjoy David Nicholls books and this was no exception. It was a lovely story well told by narrators. Characters were fully formed and the author described them in depth and with great empathy. Not at all slushy although it is a story of a relationship starting. An interesting setting for this too. Highly recommended.

Great characters, best dialogue I’ve read for a long time

Well narrated, comforting story pace and endearing characters. Witty and self effacing as the characters themselves.

Oh blimey, I wrote DN off when I was younger. What a fool. This book is beautiful, life affirming & hilarious. Lucky me, I get to read all his other books now :)

giid

I really enjoyed listening to this, it took a while to get into but then you really wanted to listen to the rest. my only criticism is the narration of the male character, the voice seems to indicate the character is of pensionable age when actually he's only early faulties which makes it confusing to listen to.

witty dialogue

Highly recommend this book, I was surprised by how much I loved it. Characters were warm and engaging. The best narration of any book I've listened to. I hope there will be a second book.
