Tin Man

A Novel

De: Sarah Winman

Narrado por: Sarah Winman

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 off the page, Tin Man is a love letter to human kindness and friendship, and to loss and living.

Writing superb!

Though the story wasn't up my alley, I was delighted by the writing. Performance was spot on!

Sunflowers and life

The incredible way Sarah writes about love, family and relationships, and how we all must just let people love who they love.

I challenge anyone to read this book without sobbing at least once

Masterful and tender this book epitomizes humanity and compassion . Love and loss are beautifully rendered

Vivid Storytelling

Loved every minute of this devastating story. You can’t help but feel the loneliness - the longing of Mikey. Even the mundane day to day leaves you gutted, and fully captures the depth of his love for E. Adding this to our home library immediately.

Another triumph
