Hiya, book clubbers! This month, we read You Are Here by British author David Nicholls. The story follows Michael and Marnie as they are thrown together on a long walk through England. Michael is adrift after his wife has just left him, and he has begun taking himself on long, solitary walks across the English countryside. Marnie is lonely, too. She spends her days hiding in her London flat after her marriage fell apart years ago. She is more comfortable at her computer as a copy editor than really anywhere else in the world. At its heart, it’s a book about love and loneliness and… walking.
