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

Tin Man begins with a painting, Vincent van Gogh's iconic sunflowers, won in a raffle. This radiant piece of art is hung on the wall by a woman who holds a profound belief in the beauty that men and boys are capable of creating. Against this backdrop, two young boys, Ellis and Michael, share an unbreakable bond. They explore the solace and joy they find in each other's company as they navigate the complexities of growing up.

As the years pass, Ellis and Michael's friendship evolves, and their lives take unexpected turns. The arrival of Annie into their world brings profound changes, adding layers of complexity and depth to their relationships. Annie’s presence intertwines their fates in ways that are as tragic as they are uplifting, altering everything and nothing at the same time.

With her signature lyrical prose, Sarah Winman crafts a poignant and beautifully rendered narrative in Tin Man. Exploring the themes of love, friendship, and the enduring power of human connection, this novel is a heartfelt tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. As Winman follows the acclaimed success of When God Was a Rabbit and A Year of Marvellous Ways, she delivers a love letter to kindness and the transformative nature of love and loss.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
