A Sunday Times must-read book of 2026

Philosophical, tender, and hilariously observed, Nice Places subverts the "go find yourself" travel story, unpacking our shared desire for meaning, connection, and a true place in the world

When Georgie quits his job at Oats Technologies to travel the world for one year, he hopes to escape the daily existential discomfort of corporate life. But after a meditation guru robs him on his way to the airport, he awakens in a guest house in the rundown yet vibrant Panhandle neighborhood of his own city.

Alone with his phone and a desperate urge to assure his friends and family all is well, Georgie shares a photo of "authentic" boat noodles. To his surprise, everyone loves the post and believes he is overseas. Ant, a mixed media artist from Berlin, proposes a collaboration. With her vision and the help of a charming cast of guests and locals, Georgie's unlikely adventures unravel in ways he never imagined.
