Tin Man

Tin Man is a tender, melancholic novel about love, loss, and the lives we might have lived. It follows Ellis and Michael—two boys who once shared everything, including a deep, unspoken connection that teetered between friendship and something more. Years later, Ellis is a quiet man haunted by memory, while Michael’s voice lives on in the spaces left behind. With poetic grace and emotional restraint, Sarah Winman crafts a story about the enduring imprint of first love and the ache of what never was.

~ Included for its delicate exploration of queer longing, male intimacy, and the quiet tragedy of unfulfilled love. A bittersweet meditation on memory and the many shapes love can take. ~
