Riassunto

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 COSTA NOVEL AWARD From the internationally bestselling author of WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT comes a heartbreaking celebration of love in all its forms, and the moments that illuminate the life of one man. This is almost a love story. But it's not as simple as that. '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 Marvellous Ways with a love letter to human kindness and friendship, loss and living.

Recensione

The writing is powerful and yet understated, whether in Winman's observations about relationships or her evocations of landscapes. With her skilful command of language and deep emotional insight, Winman has produced in the exquisitely crafted Tin Man her best novel to date. (Observer)

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

[Tin Man] is a marvel, full of love, longing and loss, huge emotions described in such a beautifully understated way that their impact is all the more powerful (Sunday Express (S Magazine))

An exquisitely crafted tale of love and loss (Guardian)

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 may be a short novel, at just 195 pages, but it packs an enormous punch (Independent)

[Tin Man has] themes of childhood bonds and traumas, and gay love, which she evokes with tender sympathy (The Times)

A beautifully written novel (Daily Mail)

Heart-wrenching... a short but powerful novel about love and friendship (Woman & Home)

This book is why I read (Nina Pottell Prima)
