[+] Walk. David Nicholls has been one of my favorite authors since I sobbed through One Day , which was recently made into a #1 tearjerker of a Netflix series. His new novel, You Are Here , takes a completely different turn and, in fact, Nicholls himself calls it “my funniest book yet.
” As a reader, I was engrossed. As a travel writer, I was intrigued by the Coast to Coast Walk, a 16 day, 192 mile hike through the English countryside that I had never heard of before. I studied the maps that accompanied each chapter and read more about the route and its history after following the book’s characters, Marnie and Michael, as they make their way across England, finding themselves and each other along the way.
I reached out to Nicholls to learn more about the famous walk that provides the framework for a page-turning novel with as many twists and turns as the trail itself. Here’s what he had to say: You Are Here by David Nicholls First, congratulations on another great book. I felt like I was really on the journey with Marnie and Michael and I could envision all the places and landscapes they were experiencing.
To me, that’s the sign of a very special book – it’s so vivid, it totally takes you away and makes you forget you’re actually just sitting in your house. That’s something your books do brilliantly. Plus,.
