Going Under

‘A compelling eye-opener written by one who clearly knows.’ JUDY NUNN, bestselling author of Sanctuary

Going Under is a rare insight into the world of a trainee female medic that takes an unflinching look at the reality of being a doctor. It explores the big themes - life, death, power and love - through the eyes of Dr Katarina ‘Kitty’ Holliday as she loses her identity and nearly her mind in the pressure-cooker world of the hospital. But it is also there that Kitty might find her own redemption and finally know herself for the first time. Darkly funny, sexy, moving and shocking, Going Under will grip you from the opening page and never let you go.

‘There’s plenty to shock but also black humour, camaraderie, sex, drugs and moments of poignancy.’ SYDNEY MORNING HERALD/THE AGE

‘Hilarious, shocking, sexy and thought-provoking … provocative and insightful … A great read and an important story that needs telling.’ FIVE STARS. BOOK’D OUT

‘A devastatingly important novel … told with a sharp edge of dark humour that is precariously balanced with frank and shocking honesty. I could barely put the book down, it’s such compelling reading.’ TERESA SMITH WRITES

‘Please read this enthralling, compelling, true-to-life, page-turner of a book for yourself. A must-read for all.’ STARTS AT SIXTY

‘From the first grim failed attempt to cannulate a vein, I knew Going Under was the real deal. I’m still having flashbacks to my own intern days because of it. Sonia Henry writes with a combination of heart and precision that only the best of writers, and doctors, can manage.’ NICK EARLS, bestselling author of Bachelor Kisses
