The Valley at the Centre of the World by Malachy Tallack

4.0

'The Valley at the Center of the World' is a winter read. It is quiet, weathered and comforting. Set in a valley in Shetland, we follow the people who live within it, and realize how important sustaining relationships in such a wild and isolated place is. This book makes you think about how a home is made and remembered. It is a beautiful insight into the many lives of the people in the valley and a quiet yet powerful study of the authors homeland.
