You are Here by David Nicholls – Marnie and Michael are brought together by a mutual friend. Marnie doesn’t get out much and feels as though life is passing her by – and Michael’s a newly separated teacher trying to survive in his new single life. They embark on a hike across the Lake District - the landscape in this book is vivid and real, you could be walking it yourself - and as they find their place in the world, so too do they find their place together. From the author of One Day which is currently popular on Netflix - David Nicholls has written another masterclass about the roads down which life can lead you.
