  • Summary

  • Molly Schmidt’s Salt River Road is a searing account of grief and redemption set in the big sky/small town landscapes of south west WA..
    Racism, poverty and country town politics are all part of life in country Western Australia in the 1970’s. But for the Tetley family all that matters is that they have lost their beloved mother Elena, and they are all falling apart…and in danger of losing the farm that is their livelihood.
    Through the eyes of teenage siblings Rose and Frank the reader experiences the
    dangerously deep grief of losing a parent. Then comes a slow redemption through their connection with two local Noongar elders, and a reconciliation with events from the past.

    Guest:
    Molly Schmidt, author and recipient of the 2022 City of Fremantle Hungerford Award
