Description
Sixty Degrees North: Around the World in Search of Home by Malachy Tallack is a thoughtful travel memoir exploring the landscapes, cultures, and communities that lie along the sixtieth parallel north.
Beginning in Shetland, where Tallack grew up, the journey follows the parallel westward through Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, and Alaska. Along the way, the author reflects on the relationship between people and place, examining themes of wilderness, community, belonging, memory, and the enduring pull of home.
Interwoven with accounts of travel is Tallack’s deeply personal story of grief following the loss of his father and his evolving connection to the islands where he was raised. Blending memoir, travel writing, and nature writing, Sixty Degrees North is a reflective exploration of identity, landscape, and what it truly means to belong.
