Meg Rosoff, multi award winning author of How I Live Now, explores
the pain of first love and coming-of-age in her compelling novel
What I Was, which was once described by The Times as 'Samuel
Beckett on ecstasy.' Shall I tell you about the year I discovered
love? I'd been kicked out of two boarding schools and the last
thing I wanted was to be here, on the East Anglian coast, in a
third. But without St Oswald's, I would not have discovered the
fisherman's hut with its roaring fire, its striped blankets, its
sea monster stew. Without St Oswald's, I would not have met the boy
with the beautiful eyes, the flickering half-smile, and no past.
Without St Oswald's I would not have met Finn. And without Finn,
there would be no story. Shall we begin? ' . . . thrilling and
sensitively told' - Observer ' . . . mordantly funny and searingly
well written' - The Times Bestselling author Meg Rosoff has
received great critical acclaim since the publication of her first
novel How I Live Now (winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction
Prize). Her other novels, Just in Case (winner of the 2007 Carnegie
Medal) and The Bride's Farewell, are also available from Puffin.
