Following a Line Around the Globe

Shetland-based writer Malachy Tallack follows the sixtieth parallel north around the world, travelling through Greenland, Canada, Siberia, Scandinavia and Scotland to explore what home and belonging mean across such different landscapes and cultures.

Part travel narrative and part personal reflection, the book weaves in the story of his own upbringing in Shetland alongside encounters with the people who live along this remote circle of latitude.

A thoughtful read for travellers and armchair wanderers drawn to the far north, and to journeys that are as much about the writer's own life as the places passed through.
