David Nicholls: new novel from 'One Day' author

From Saturday Morning, 11:05 am on 29 June 2024

Author David Nicholls has been described as "the man who made a nation cry" - though he should really be called the man who made the world cry - after the Netflix adaptation of his best selling book One Day became an international phenomenon.

The critically acclaimed British novelist and  BAFTA-winning screenwriter has written six books in total - the newest of which, entitled You Are Here, was released last month.

The story revolves around two lonely people, Marnie and Michael, who, bruised by break-ups, meet on a coast-to-coast walk across the north of England.

Nicholls joins the show to discuss his new work, the smash success of One Day, his brief stint as an actor, and his own love of walking.
