In reply to Kate W. You're the reason I read it! I read your review and made note of it. I've finished all my new release reading for the year and so am turning to backlist. Remembering how much I loved Tin Man I knew I wanted to read it. I think you will love Tin Man. You can see her growth as a writer.

In reply to susan. What a great story! I would have lost all composure. I felt as if Tin Man was a wonderful sign of her progression as a writer. As you mention Rabbit gets spread a bit thin. I just love her style. Thank you for your comment about The Uncommon Reader. There was some problem with WP that meant I couldn't approve comments (grrr). I agree that it was a wonderful tribute to reading!

I liked the first half of this book (according to my review in 2013) but didn’t care for the 2nd half which I thought was disjointed and meandering. But I thought Winman’s current book Tin Man was very strong. I’ll be curios to see what she puts out next: I’m guessing it’ll have pain & grief in it … ha. I actually met Winman at our book festival a couple of years ago –just in the foyer area — didn’t know it was her — just walked by and we started talking and she was cool. … and then realized … by the way that was Sarah Winman ohhh

I loved this book when I read it years ago and have Tin Man in my TBR stack. I recall that it was one of those rare books that made me laugh and cry within the space of a few pages and, like you, found that although a lot happens, it all seems quite believable within the context of the story.

In reply to Andi. I'm a huge fan of any writer who can combine serious life events with quirky charm. Winman does it well.

Just figured out which book this is (old cover). I really want to read it now! Added to my TBR and had a sample sent to ye olde Kindle.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. We're just in very different places in our reading. I'm not going to push this one on you because the last two I've loved you've DNFed!

In reply to Jan.

I hope you like it!

You commented on my October wrap-up post but I’m having issues with Comments in WP and so was never able to respond. The Cravings cookbook is so much fun, as well as having recipes that sound divine but not too hard. I’d definitely get it from the library- even if you just read it and laugh!

Catherine. I also loved Tin Man so I’m adding this to my list. Thanks!
