Was by Geoff Ryman
WAS is the story of Dorothy. Orphaned as a child in the 1870s, she goes to live in Kansas with her Aunty Em and Uncle Henry. They face drought and poverty. They face each other. Alone, abused, Dorothy meets an itinerant actor called Frank and inspires a masterpiece. From the settling of the West and the heyday of the Hollwywood studios to the glittering megalopolis of modern Los Angeles, WAS is the story of all our childhoods.
"A mediation on art, lies and human painNone of Ryman's books is quite like any of the others - this is one of his most straightforward and best" - Roz Kaveneny Time Out
Geoff Ryman was born in Canada and now lives and works in London and Oxfordshire.
