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.

Press Reviews

  • Matt Haig

    This is an astoundingly beautiful book. It drips with tenderness. It breaks your heart and warms it all at once
  • Nina Pottell

    Prima
    This book is why I read
  • Simon Savidge

    I didn't think a perfect book could exist, I was wrong
  • Ali Land, author of GOOD ME, BAD ME

    Heart-breaking and heart-making
  • Patrick Gale

    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
  • Joanna Cannon, author of THE TROUBLE WITH GOATS AND SHEEP

    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
  • Attitude
    A beautiful, life-giving book that will constantly surprise you
  • Psychologies magazine
    'It was beautiful, and occasionally, it hurt,' says Michael - and this exactly describes the wonder of this bruisingly tender book
  • Stylist
    Winman writes with a poetry that makes the impact of Tin Man so much greater than its 200 pages... ephemeral yet powerful... Every fleeting moment is worth repeating, again and again
  • Woman & Home
    Heart-wrenching... a short but powerful novel about love and friendship
  • Observer
    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.
