David Nicholls: You Are Here. Sydney Writers Festival Livestream

When you're feeling lost, let love rewrite the map.

Join bestselling author David Nicholls—master of modern love stories—for an intimate conversation about his latest novel, You Are Here. With hits like Us (longlisted for the Booker Prize) and One Day (now a hit Netflix series), Nicholls has captivated millions with his warm, witty, and heartbreakingly honest portrayals of love and life.

In You Are Here, two midlife strangers—Marnie, who feels life is slipping away, and Michael, retreating after heartbreak—cross paths in the English countryside. What follows is a story of first encounters, second chances, and the quiet magic of connection, filled with sharp observations, humour, and hope.

In conversation with Jennifer Byrne, David reflects on love in all its complexity and how we find our way back to each other—and ourselves.

Part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival livestream series, this event brings one of the world’s most beloved storytellers to Parkdale Library for a special shared experience. Audiences can also take part in a live Q&A, with questions sent directly to the Sydney stage.
