Synopsis
Everyone who comes to Australia is warned about something — the sun, the snakes, the distance, the cost of a house. But the thing that finally undoes you, or remakes you, is almost never the thing you were warned about.
In twelve stories spanning seventy years and a dozen countries, No One Warned Us follows migrants at the moment the country surprises them. An Italian labourer in the Snowy Mountains, homesick for a village of church bells, in a land with no bells and no edges. A thirteen-year-old refugee who becomes the only voice her family has. A Dutch bride unmoored by a country that calls everyone by their first name. A South Sudanese teenager who learns that safety can feel like suspicion.
Inspired by real events and told with warmth, humour, and unflinching tenderness, these are stories about the small, strange, unbriefed moments of arrival — and about what people discover they are made of when the pamphlet runs out. A collection for anyone who has ever had to build a life out of a thing no one warned them about.
