"Captivating [and] flawless...An affectingly hard-won romance. [Michael is] a sturdy and slyly
amusing authority figure … flailing amid the debris of a loving marriage gone sour. Marnie is
a compulsively witty winningly cranky near-agoraphobe...Both protagonists are prickly smart
and desperately yearning but utterly guarded for understandably good reasons. Nicholls builds
his own erotic and at times wrenchingly emotional suspense as the would-be lovers reveal past
mishaps and surrendered dreams... As in the best romances we cherish Michael’s and Marnie’s
difficult personalities and relish the unlikely process that might bring them together. The
novel is sharp-tongued and irresistible." — New York Times Book Review "I finished this novel
in two breathless sittings as invested in its outcome as I would be in the happiness of a
friend. This is the magic of You Are Here : warm generous and funny it invites readers into
the world of Marnie and Michael with the promise that everyone is welcome and that choosing
happiness and being courageous in any small way we can is always possible. I loved this book."
— Kaliane Bradley author of The Ministry of Time From the internationally bestselling and
Booker Prize-longlisted author of One Day one of the most enduring love stories of its
generation comes an uplifting and unputdownable love story about second chances. Sometimes you
need to get lost to find your way . . . Michael is coming undone. Adrift after his wife's
departure he has begun taking himself on long solitary walks across the English countryside.
Becoming ever more reclusive he’ll do anything to avoid his empty house. Marnie on the other
hand is stuck. Hiding alone in her London flat she avoids old friends and any reminders of
her rotten selfish ex-husband. Curled up with a good book she’s battling the long afternoons
of a life that feels like it’s passing her by. When a persistent mutual friend and some very
unpredictable weather conspire to toss Michael and Marnie together on the most epic of ten-day
hikes neither of them can think of anything worse. Until of course they discover exactly
what they’ve been looking for. Michael and Marnie are on the precipice of a bright future . . .
if they can survive the journey. A hilarious hopeful and heartwarming love story—the novel
beloved New York Times bestselling author David Nicholls calls “my funniest book yet”— You Are

way home.
