Long awaited, and well worth that wait, Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These is the debut short story collection from Sydney-based New Zealander, Amanda Maxwell. Steeped in coming-of-age debris, these tales chart a deft course through landscapes that are interior and exterior, foreign and local, man-made and natural.

NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE is as straight up as its name. Amanda Maxwell's short stories jump from house parties to surf trips and glazed crullers, frankly recalling all the strangeness and weird beauty of being younger than you are now. Her stories are personal, like having a conversation with a friend; one minute you're laughing and the next, blushing a little.
