Summary
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 onboard 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.

Critic reviews
"#MeToo has clearly had a profound influence on this novel, and Hardcastle's delineation of the ambiguities and uncertainties that underpin consent is both cogent and moving." (The Australian)
"Vividly realised and richly detailed [...] Below Deck goes beyond colourful descriptions of people and places into the realm of total sensory experience for the characters and the reader." (Good Reading)
"Below Deck is a stunning literary novel. This is a poetic work that can be read aloud just as easily as it can be read in silence." (Australian Book Review)
