Salt Creek by Lucy Treloar

4.0

"Salt Creek" tells the story (partially based on fact) of the Finch family living on an isolated Coorong homestead. The struggle to survive and eek out a living from the harsh terrain is well portrayed. The large family provide plenty of interesting characters who all deal with their new life in different ways. This is a rich and engaging novel that captures the colours and texture of the environment so well. The characters are complex and offer diverse points of view. The story thoughtfully explores the clash of cultures during the pioneering days of South Australia. Well worth reading.
