In 'Was', Geoff Ryman intertwines three captivating stories that explore themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning. Dorothy, an orphan in the 1870s, seeks a home with her aunt and uncle in Kansas, facing the harsh reality of drought and poverty. Simultaneously, we meet Baby Frances, a young singer in the 1920s, whose life in show business reveals the complexities of fame and family. Finally, a therapist in modern Los Angeles discovers surprising connections between these stories, unraveling a mystery that spans generations. Through a masterful narrative, Ryman weaves a tapestry of emotions and experiences that resonate in the reader's heart.
