Below Deck

A powerful novel of one wide-eyed young woman's experience of ill-treatment at the hands of men - and the aftermath.

When 21-year-old Oli sets sail from Australia she embarks on a trip that will open her eyes to life''s possibilities. Some years later, fluent in the language of the ocean, she is the only female crew member on-board a yacht delivery to New Zealand. There, in the darkness below deck, she learns something new: at sea, no one can hear you scream.

Below Deck is about the moments that haunt us, that fan out like ripples through the deep. It is a novel about the vagaries of consent, about who has the space to speak and who is believed.
