The Valley at the Centre of the World by Malachy Tallack

reflective slow-paced

4.25

I didn't expect it, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it's meant to feel quite isolated, but for me, this book makes me want to visit the Shetland Islands and sit outside knitting woolen sweaters. I liked how quiet this novel was and the tiny complexities that make life difficult, yet also worth living, no matter where you are. I can't wait to see what other fiction Malachy Tallack brings out.
