Riassunto

"Refigures the historical novel. . . . Salt Creek introduces a capacious new talent." —The Weekend Australian

Hester Finch recalls her family's move to coastal South Australia in 1855. The connections the Finches form with passing travelers and with a local Aboriginal boy, Tully, whom Hester's father seeks to educate almost as his own son, will forever alter their fates, testing their loyalty to each other and to their own principles.

Lucy Treloar was born in Malaysia and educated in Melbourne, England, and Sweden. Awards for her writing include the 2014 Commonwealth Short Story Prize. Salt Creek is her first novel.

Recensione:

Refigures the historical novel ... Salt Creek introduces a capacious new talent. --The Australian

Written with a profound respect for history: with an understanding that beyond a certain point, the past and its people are unknowable.--- Sydney Morning Herald
[A] deeply moving story about love and rejection as much as it is about the impact of European settlement and the destruction of Indigenous culture. ---Sunday Age
A haunting story, beautifully written and quietly subversive. It's a spectacular debut. --ANZ Lit Lovers

Salt Creek is a novel alive with character, history and poetry, leading us with careful understatement into the unfamiliar world of the Coorong region of Southern Australia. --The judges of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
