Praise for The Valley in the Centre of the World: 'A moving, authentic novel of the Scottish islands in the twenty-first century' - AMY LIPTROT 'Life-affirming . . . [Tallack] is a careful and precise writer' - ALLAN MASSIE, Scotsman 'Tallack's concern here is with the push and pull of larger forces- love, grief, guilt, need, the idea of home itself. They're potent themes that could, but rarely do, overshadow characters about which he writes with palpable tenderness . . . A sharp-eyed and evocative painter of place' - Daily Mail 'Lyrical . . . Wonderfully atmospheric and moving' - Sunday Express
