From the 2016 recipient of the Astrid Lindgren award and author of
international bestseller How I Live Now, National Book Award
finalist Picture Me Gone, and most recently Jonathan Unleashed Finn
was a beautiful orphan. H was a prep school misfit. On a September
afternoon many years ago they met on a beach on the coast of
England, near the ancient fisherman's hut Finn was squatting in
with his woodstove, a case of books, a striped blanket and a cat. H
insinuates his way into Finn's life-his blazing wood fires and
fishing expeditions. Their friendship deepens, offering H the
freedom and human connection that has always eluded him. But all
too soon the idyll of their relationship is shaken by a
heart-wrenching scandal. What I Was is the unforgettable story of H
at the end of his life looking back on this friendship, which has
shaped and obsessed him for nearly a century.
