The Book of Valletta

About

The decades-long history of a Valletta bar, from championship celebrations to ghostly encounters, plays out on a public review board…

A stream of politicians, swollen with pride and pastizzi, flood the streets like pigeons on their way to take roost in at parliament…

An elderly woman, and one of a dwindling number of lifelong Valletta residents, struggles to leave the city behind as her memory begins to fade…

Valletta is said to be a city built by gentlemen, for gentlemen. This book? It is put together with the city – Il-Belt -and its people at heart. These 10 stories reflect the diverse facets of a city of contradictions – a place carved of stone where time stands still, yet exists in constant flux.
