Abstract
Lucy Treloar on her widely read and awarded novel Salt Creek (2015) which tells the story of the Finch family fallen on hard times in the 1850s and their attempts to survive and make good on the land in the remote and inhospitable Coorong. Their attempts devastate the lives of the Ngarrindjeri people and unleash a chain of events that will tear the family asunder. Salt Creek won the Indie Award for Best Debut, the ABIA Matt Richell Award and the Dobbie Award, and was shortlisted for the 2016 Miles Franklin Literary Award and the UK Walter Scott Prize.
