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

Enjoyable humour, good storyline

This was the first book I have listened to by this author and I enjoyed the style of writing. Having done the Coast to Coast walk myself many years ago, I really enjoyed the references to the different places the characters visited as they travelled along their walk. I liked that there were 2 narrators, but now and again they didn't change their voices for the different character parts and so it was difficult to recognise which character was actually speaking, so I removed a star because of this.

Narration was superb

I really enjoyed this and couldn’t wait for my car journeys to listen to more. Both narrators were perfect for the characters and I felt instantly engaged in the storyline. Great humour and a lovely bit of romance bubbling throughout. Highly recommend

Enjoyable read

Another brilliant book by David Nicholls, gentle, engaging and funny, following a path that is familiar to life situations we have all experienced.

Different, easy listen a few out loud quips, modern.

Yet again Author puts a sink in a bathroom my pet hate and is in 99% of modern writers books. BASINS ARE IN BATHROOMS, TOILETS. plus the not knowing farther from further. wish books were proof read by people who actually know the English language.

Pitch perfect - loved it!

I absolutely loved every minute of this! The life-damaged pair, Michael and Marnie, are achingly real and the 200 mile walk across the Lake District makes an enduring visual and metaphorical backdrop.

I love David Nicholls’ wry humour and mass of witty similes. Michael’s facial skin recalling the Christmas wrapping paper Marnie’s mother used to straighten out for re-use, like all Nicholls’ similes , works on more than one level and captures so much more than just Michael’s face.

The narration is stand-out brilliant and I think listening must be hugely better than reading. Lee Ingleby and Lydia Leonard ARE Michael and Marnie, pitch-perfect and capturing every fleeting nuance, the depth of every feeling. A brilliant performance.

Absolutely wonderful!

I adored everything about this book & the narration of it. Beautiful, insightful, intelligent and moving writing. Wonderful characters and dialogue - who I feel I got to know so well & can’t believe aren’t real. Beautifully narrated. An absolute treat in every way and a book which will stay with me .. I will probably listen to it again it’s sooo good! Thank you David and all 😊
