The Tin Man
By Martin Shannon'I have a life,' says Joe. 'It's just that my life no longer lives with me.'
Meet Joe, aged eight. He's a typical kid who's got it all. Two big brothers, two best pals, holidays by the seaside, a weird feeling inside him when he shares a Waltzer's ride with Catriona ... and a deep-seated fear of The Bomb.
Survival becomes Joe's speciality. Begging an old tobacco tin from a neighbour, Joe sets about filling it with everything he thinks he will need to make it through the dark, dark days ahead.
Meet Joe, aged 33. He's got Helen, the wife he doesn't live with any more; Georgie, the little daughter he hardly sees; a job he can't stand ... and an old baccy tin lurking at the bottom of his wardrobe.
Cast away from his home, washed up in an unfamiliar city, this is Joe's most extreme survival test yet. He's prepared to prise open the tin but can anything inside save him from the fall-out from his nuclear family? And what on earth will be best for Georgie?
