From internationally bestselling author Sarah Winman comes an unforgettable and heartbreaking novel celebrating love in all its forms and the little moments that make up the life of an autoworker in a small working-class town.
This is almost a love story. But it's not as simple as that.
Ellis and Michael are twelve when they first become friends, and for a long time it is just the two of them, cycling the streets of Oxford, teaching themselves how to swim, discovering poetry, and dodging the fists of overbearing fathers. And then one day this closest of friendships grows into something more.
But then we fast-forward a decade or so, to find that Ellis is married to Annie, and Michael is nowhere in sight. Which leads to the question, what happened in the years between?
With beautiful prose and characters that are so real they jump to life, Tin Man is a love letter to human kindness and friendship, and to loss and living.
What the critics say
"Winman has crafted something of a small miracle here.... The slow build of emotion and the cascade of quiet, well-earned tears are testament to how rich this meditation on love, art, loss and redemption truly is." (New York Times Book Review)
“The most therapeutic emotional journey of the year.” (EW.com)
“Half love story and half identity quest, Sarah Winman's Tin Man is 100 percent beautiful. It's the perfect book to completely drag you out of your own personal reality and into someone else's for a little while, and you'll find yourself reading it again and again.” (PopSugar)

Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Sarah Winman read her gorgeous book. The language is lovely and evocative. The love is pure and sweet, bitter and sweet. Sarah's voice is rich, loved having it fill my rooms for a time.
