Salt Creek

Lucy Treloar

Voted The Times’ is an Australian historical novel about a family pursuing their dreams, duty, and displacement.

‘Salt Creek is a love song to a lost world’ The Guardian

A story of love, duty, hardship and intolerance through the eyes of a strong woman in 1850s colonial Australia.

The comfortable and respectable life Hester Finch now leads in Chichester, England, could not be further from the hardship her family endured on leaving Adelaide for Salt Creek in 1855. Yet she finds her thoughts drawn back to that remote, beautiful and inhospitable outcrop of South Australia and the connections she and her siblings forged there, far from the city society in which they had been raised. Encounters with the few travellers passing along the nearby stock route and the local indigenous people, in particular a boy, Tully, whom Hester’s father seeks to educate almost as his own son, would change the fates of the Finches forever; nor would life ever be the same again for those who had long called the area home.
