«What I Was» is Meg Rosoff's coming-of-age novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback (224 pages, in English).
A centenarian man named H recalls his sixteen-year-old self, when he was a student at a boarding school on the East Anglia coast in the 1960s. There he meets Finn, a solitary boy who lives on his own in a hut by the sea and follows no one's rules. Fascinated by his freedom, H makes that friendship the centre of his life.
«What I Was» is Meg Rosoff's third novel, after How I Live Now and Just in Case. The work was shortlisted for the 2008 Carnegie Medal.
The novel is aimed at young readers aged 12 and up and at those who enjoy coming-of-age and friendship stories.
