From the bestselling author of STILL LIFE
*As featured on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read*

This is almost a love story. But it's not as simple as that.

It begins with 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.

'Packs an enormous punch' Independent

'Exquisite. I haven't been so moved and so in love with a book and its characters for a very long time'
Joanna Cannon

'This book is why I read' Nina Pottell, Prima

'Ephemeral yet powerful... Every fleeting moment is worth repeating, again and again' Stylist

Reviews
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 *

Tin Man is Winman's best novel yet. The playful subversiveness still bubbles away but there's a new candour there, an acceptance of needs and flaws that proves deeply touching. This is storytelling as cruelly kind as fate itself
