As It Was is a deeply personal and evocative memoir written by Helen Thomas under the pseudonym H.T. The work provides an intimate glimpse into the early relationship and domestic life shared with her husband, the renowned British poet Edward Thomas. Written with startling honesty and poetic sensibility, the narrative explores the complexities of love, the challenges of poverty, and the profound connection between two individuals during the years leading up to the First World War.

Through a series of sensitive reflections, the author captures the essence of their life together, from their unconventional courtship to the quiet rhythms of their shared household. The book serves as both a beautiful tribute to a significant literary figure and a compelling exploration of a marriage defined by both devotion and struggle. Readers will find a candid portrayal of a woman's perspective on one of the most influential poets of the early 20th century. As It Was remains a vital piece of literary history, offering essential context to Edward Thomas's verse while standing alone as a masterpiece of lyrical prose and emotional depth.
