Description

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 COSTA NOVEL AWARD

The beautiful and heartbreaking new novel from Sarah Winman, author of the international bestseller WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT.

'Her best novel to date' Observer

'An exquisitely crafted tale of love and loss' Guardian

'A marvel' Sunday Express

'Astoundingly beautiful' Matt Haig

It begins with a painting won in a raffle: fifteen sunflowers, hung on the wall by a woman who believes that men and boys are capable of beautiful things.

And then there are two boys, Ellis and Michael,

who are inseparable.

And the boys become men,

and then Annie walks into their lives,

and it changes nothing and everything.

TIN MAN sees Sarah Winman follow the acclaimed success of WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT and A YEAR OF MARVELOUS WAYS with a love letter to human kindness and friendship, loss and living.

Reviews

'This is an astoundingly beautiful book. It drips with tenderness. It breaks your heart and warms it all at once' - Matt Haig

'Exquisite. Sarah's writing breaks you and heals you, all in the same moment, and I haven't been so moved, and so in love with a book and its characters in a very long time' - Joanna Cannon

'Tin Man is Winman's best novel yet. The playful subversiveness still bubbles away but there's a new candour there, an acceptance of needs and flaws that proves deeply touching. This is storytelling as cruelly kind as fate itself' - Patrick Gale

'A beautiful book - pared back and unsentimental, assured, full of warmth, and told with a kind of tenderness that makes you ache' - Rachel Joyce

'Heart-breaking and heart-making' - Ali Land

'I didn't think a perfect book could exist, I was wrong' - Simon Savidge
