Sixty Degrees North by Malachy Tallack

Sixty Degrees North by Malachy Tallack

In Sixty Degrees North, Malachy Tallack travels along the 60th parallel, which passes through Shetland, where he was raised, and through Finland, Sweden. Norway, Greenland, Canada, Russia and Alaska, observing each land, and reflecting on his own life and recent loss.

'Malachy is a fine, sensitive writer with an eye for detail and a talent for descriptive prose'

-- Gavin Bell * Herald *

'Tallack does travelogue well, acutely balancing fact and fancy, and he has a nicely febrile line in his own vulnerability' 

-- Will Self * Guardian *

'it's a joy to read, its prose as clear as the light on the Greenland ice-capIn the past year, I've read three or four books combining travelogue and memoir...this was the best'

* Telegraph *
