and thought-provoking.' The Bookbag

distant shores that seem curiously relevant to our own' Toast
Magazine [Ink@84]

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

about the impact of European settlement and the destruction of
Indigenous culture.' Sunday Age

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 'Evocative prose and a flair for drama drew us
into this historical novel ... an affecting portrait of a family in
dire straits - and a hard-hitting story about the characters'
troubled relationships with their indigenous neighbours.'iTunes

introduces a capacious new talent' The Weekend Australian

high emotion and tension to the very last chapter.' Booktopia
