'Hendrick captures Finn's inner voice perfectly as he struggles to reconcile his growing self-awareness with his need to maintain his star-athlete identity...Hendrick's powerful honesty and uncompromising interrogation of Finn's mental processes culminate in a thoroughly satisfying conclusion that, fittingly, offers no neat solutions.' * Ben Chandler, Australian Book Review * 'Fish Out of Water is a harrowing but deeply absorbing novel that casts light on the very dark place of domestic violence.' * Magpies * 'The characterisation in the book is strong and there is a gradual build-up of intrigue and suspense...[Kate Hendrick] raises questions of friendship, relationships, sexuality, loyalty, and ambition.' * CBCA Reading Time *
