"This is an astoundingly beautiful book. It drips with tenderness. It breaks your heart and warms it all at once." --Matt Haig, author of The Humans From the internationally bestselling author Sarah Winman comes an unforgettable and heartbreaking novel celebrating love in all of 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-year-old boys 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 that they jump off the page, Tin Man is a love letter to human kindness and friendship, and to loss and living.

Review:
PRAISE FOR TIN MAN "A beautiful book - pared back and unsentimental, assured, full of warmth, and told with a kind of tenderness that makes you ache." --Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry "This is an astoundingly beautiful book. It drips with tenderness. It breaks your heart and warms it all at once." --Matt Haig, author of The Humans "Heart-breaking and heart-making." --Ali Land, author of Good Me, Bad Me "It's exquisite. There are stories you just feel privileged to read. 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, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep "Tin Man is Winman's best novel yet. The playful subversiveness still bubbles away but there's a new candor there, an acceptance of needs and flaws that proves deeply touching. This is storytelling as cruelly kind as fate itself." --Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter
