Das Buch spielt in Oxford, aber nicht im universitären Kontext, sondern in der Arbeiterklasse. Am Anfang gewinnt die junge Dora 1950 ein Bild, eine Kopie der Sonnenblumen von van Gogh. Dieses Bild ist für sie sehr, sehr wichtig. Es symbolisiert eine andere Lebensweise als die, die sie kennt. Ihr Sohn Ellis ist der Tinman, das ist der englische Titel des Buches. Wie der Tinman aus dem Zauberer von Oz hat er zwei Freunde, die er über alles liebt, Michael und Alice. Das Buch erzählt die Freundschaft und Liebe, der drei, aber zu einer Zeit, als Alice und Michael bereits nicht mehr leben und Ellis 46 Jahre alt ist. Es ist ein schönes und auch trauriges Buch. Nicht alle Punkte haben mich überzeugt. Beispielsweise war mir nicht ganz klar, was Alice und Michael verbunden hat. ( ) Winman is very good at creating vivid, flawed, and lovable characters, and very believable relationships between them. Tin Man is about three people who care very deeply for each other, sometimes as friends and sometimes as lovers. The story unfolds unsequentially. The reader knows from the opening chapter that it ends in grief, but Winman manages to pull off a bittersweet ending. I saw a blurb somewhere that says this book will warm your heart while also breaking it, and that is totally true. For a short book, it packs a big emotional punch. Oh this story! I went into this knowing very little except that @nursefancypants and @sharon.read.this both rated it highly (and I have learned to trust their judgment) and I am so glad for that. It started out slow for me as I grappled with what story Winman was trying to tell, but once I was pulled in I finished it in a day and was left bereft but also hopeful. What begins as a story about a painting won in a raffle becomes a testament to the power of friendship and the enduring nature of love. Ellis and Michael meet as boys, a friendship encouraged by Ellis’s mother who has a particularly close and playful bond with Michael herself, when she passes away many decisions are made for her son that fundamentally change the course of his life and shuts down the person he thought he would be. His sketch pad and pencils are laid aside for an apprenticeship at the local car plant but what endures is his friendship with Michael. Set across the 50s to mid 90s what I particularly like about this book was that we were not just dealing with Ellis and Michael as boys but as the men they became. The difficulties of the life they live and the grief and tragedy they must deal with. The middle age that sets in and the regrets and choices we can still make in life to reclaim parts of ourselves left behind. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML:"My favorite book of the year was Tin Man. Sparsely written and achingly beautiful...The most powerful take on love, loss and vulnerability I've read in years."â??A Cup of Jo 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 one man. This is almost a love story. But it's not as simple as that. Ellis and Michael are twelve-year-old boys 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 livi Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
