Author Biography David Nicholls is the bestselling author of Starter for Ten, The Understudy, One Day, Us, Sweet Sorrow and You Are Here. One Day was published in 2009 to extraordinary critical acclaim: translated into 40 languages, it became a global bestseller, selling millions of copies worldwide. His fourth novel, Us, was longlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. On screen, David has written adaptations of Far from the Madding Crowd, When Did You Last See Your Father? and Great Expectations, as well as of his own novels, Starter for Ten, One Day and Us. His adaptation of Edward St Aubyns Patrick Melrose, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, was nominated for an Emmy and won him a BAFTA for best writer. The Netflix adaptation of One Day was executive-produced by David. Review The Remains of the Day crossed with Michael Winterbottoms The Trip, only with more Gore-Tex . . . You Are Here is a triumph, a real gift of a novel, and it deserves to join One Day on the bestseller charts immediately -- Johanna Thomas-Corr * Sunday Times *Im helplessly competitive and highly irritated that I cant remember all the books Ive read since 1 January. Ill just name my three favourite novels from the first half of the year. No. 1 is You Are Here by David Nicholls, a love story between two unlikely characters, the oldest plot in the book, but written with charm and wit. It even made me consider walking the Northumberland Coast Path - though Ive yet to buy my walking boots -- Jacqueline Wilson * Spectator *Captivating . . . Nicholls is rightfully attached to his central couple and their baggage of cherished neuroses, until he accepts that he has to decide on a happy ending or something more bittersweet, and how to earn either. He succeeds beautifully. Nichollss dialogue is flawless (hes also an experienced screenwriter) and even his descriptions of bogs and muck can enchant. The novel is sharp-tongued and irresistible, the most intelligent treat -- Paul Rudnick * New York Times *A great comic novel . . . The reader becomes so invested in the outcome of this unspectacular, everyday, cagoule-clad romance that it makes the whole world shimmer with a kind of secret possibility, as if such narratives are everywhere, just out of sight -- Alex Preston * Observer *Nicholls not only beautifully evokes quintessential British landscapes, but also maps a will-they-or-wont-they love story between two midlifers (fans will be reminded of One Days Dexter and Emma) . . . Rest assured, youll be very invested in a happy ending -- Best new books to read in 2024 * Independent *David Nicholls, the maestro of the modern rom-com, has had a big year: first came Netflixs nostalgic adaptation of his 2009 hit One Day and now there is this sweet and stylish love story for grown-ups . . . Nichollss most satisfying love story yet -- Chief literary critic Johanna Thomas-Corrs pick, 50 best novels for summer * The Times *A master of his particular craft. This is a novel that will make you feel terrific -- Erica Wagner * Financial Times *The trouble with having a hit novel is that your work will forever be compared with it. But You Are Here is just as good - and possibly even better . . . it makes you want to get out and walk; to seize the day; to do something significant with your life; to not only believe in second chances but to make them happen. It makes you want to tell someone - anyone - that you love or care about them. I cant think of a better testament to the power of a David Nicholls novel than that -- Anna Bonet * i Newspaper *For many it will be a comforting antidote to the grimness of our grim world, a crowd-pleaser and, surely, a TV hit-to-be -- Lucy Atkins * Guardian *Nicholls excels at writing about the complexities of relationships . . . There is an appetising tone throughout the novel, which is full of clever, droll jokes about teaching, relatives, walking, friendship, pubs and motels -- Martin Chilton, Books of the month * Independent *Zip up Heathcliff in Gore-Tex, give Cathy laugh-out-loud lines, fold in the poignancy of E. M. Forster, embed quaint maps, blisters, a dash of existential terror and heaps of heartache and you have David Nichollss latest novel . . . like all great rom-coms, the journey that Nicholls takes Michael and Marnie on is more meaningful than the destination -- Genevieve Gaunt * Spectator *As a longtime fan of Nicholls writing, I had huge expectations for this book and it absolutely delivered . . . Im calling it now - this will undoubtedly be one of my best books of 2024 -- Joanne Finney, The best books to read this month * Good Housekeeping *You Are Here is an unusual novel, unusual for our time anyway. It is amusing and true to life. It is gentle, free from fashionable extravagance . . . Nicholls is a novelist who brings understanding to his work; also, happily, he is often very funny * Scotsman *Nichollss latest has the irresistible feel of a classic romance * Mail on Sunday *Nicholls tackles modern loneliness in this witty and warm love story for cynics -- Novels to look out for in 2024 * Grazia *He has done it again with this lovely, touching story . . . Nichollss knack for warm characters, funny dialogue and superb scene-setting is as spot-on as ever. Youll want to pull on your hiking boots at the first opportunity * Daily Mail *Fans will relish the fact that once again, he has written a love story with some very good comic set pieces -- Summer reading * Evening Standard *Funny, emotional and beautiful . . . Nicholls is the king of creating well-drawn, flawed characters that resonate and tug on your heartstrings -- Book of the Week * Heat *Everyone loves David Nicholls marvellously tender and humane new novel, You Are Here -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *Few contemporary writers make characters feel as human as David Nicholls does . . . Nicholls has a knack for finding the magical in the everyday. Its not a pandemic novel, but its themes of loneliness and clinging on to moments of connection feel particularly pertinent after the past few years -- 45 of 2024s most anticipated books * BBC.com *A poignant love story of first encounters -- 40 best books of 2024 * Sunday Times *Refreshing . . .
