Salt Creek by Lucy Treloar

5.0

This story is set 1855 and takes place in Salt Creek on the Coorong of South Australia. The Finch family is struggling to get through each day as their family business is in financial trouble. Neither Mr or Mrs Finch is coping and it seems that fifteen year old Hester (Hetty) is having to take on more than she should for a fifteen year old.

This story is narrated by Hester Finch, who gives us the reader a real understanding of just how hard it was for her and her family. Really emotional and touching indeed.

Salt Creek is a real gem of a book in my opinion and one that I didn't want to end. A really beautifully written story which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. With thanks to Netgalley and publishers for my copy to read and review.
