Beautiful

As good as everyone says? Yes.
Astounding brevity and beauty used to tell a simple (yet ultimately complex) story of love.
Better than Still Life or When God Was A Rabbit? Almost.
Should you read it? Yes.

Well written, lovely language. Was grateful about the way that some characters and relationships evolved.

When Sarah Winman's Tin Man begins the tragedy of Ellis Judd's life has already ended. He is a 45-year-old man who works the night shift at a car plant near Oxford, England. He lives alone with a life of monotonous routine and works nights because he can't sleep. Can't sleep because he's left with nothing but memories of his wife, Annie, and his dearest friend, Michael, both of whom died in a car accident five years ago. In one fell swoop the two people he loved most, gone. From that point on, his life was split into before and after and after meant basic survival, nothing more. Until he finds a box of Michael's belongings in his father's attic and suddenly, the past becomes the only way forward.

I think this was simultaneously too short and too long? Idk
