AddressGriffin Books, Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, CF64 1JB T: 02920 706455 W: www.griffinbooks.co.ukStart date 25-04-2024 Offer DetailsDavid Nicholls is one of the best – and most beloved – writers in the English language, a master storyteller who can be laugh-out-loud funny and devastatingly moving on the same page. It’s twenty years since his debut novel Starter for Ten became a cult bestseller, nearly fifteen years since his novel One Day became an international publishing phenomenon and the iconic love story for a generation, and nine years since Us took him to the Man Booker Prize longlist. We are delighted to welcome David back to Penarth to celebrate the publication of his highly anticipated new novel, You Are Here. It's a love story which unfolds on a walk across the north of England; ten days through the Lakes, the Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. It’s the story of two lonely people, Michael and Marnie, both a little lost and wary of new company. But, over many miles, as they start to talk and share stories, the possibility of a new beginning opens up before them.
