Brilliantly descriptive and so real....
I was entranced by the descriptions of Pittwater, and the vivid images.
The description of her journey through cancer, and her breakdown 18 months after being widowed is real. This is a book about survival, and finding life again. This is one of the best books I've read in a while.

engrossing
I dont usually read this style of book but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Initially I didnt feel any real connection with the author, and yet the book was engrossing. As the book progressed my feelings towards her changed. The author manages to absorb you into her day to day life, and writes so well I can clearly envision Pittwater and the characters (and dogs) of whom she writes. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun read with a message which creeps up on the reader, doesnt hit you between the eyes.

Superb, Poetical and Honest
Story: The Way of Water

As a fellow author in the biography genre, I was hugely impressed by the passion, honesty and sheer beauty of Susan Duncan's writing. As a fellow Australian, Dorothea Mackellar fan and Sydney bush dweller, I found lots to entice in this story of life, of death and of living in the moment. It was sheer joy to share the author's experiences of life among the small bayside communities of Pittwater, with their idiosyncrasies, their down to earth attitude to living and their enormous generosity. The author also shares with us both her experiences of living with cancer and watching those she loves most die from cancer. Yet this is one of the most positive and romantic tales of recent times. Salvation Creek is a wonderful title and wonderfully evocative of the essence of the book. Can't recommend this highly enough.
