Description
Albert Entwistle is a private man with a quiet, simple life. He lives alone with his cat Gracie, and he is a postman. Three months before his sixty-fifth birthday, he receives a letter from the Royal Mail thanking him for decades of service and stating he is being forced into retirement.
At once, Albert’s sole connection to his world unravels. Every day as a mail carrier he makes his way through the streets of his small English town, delivering letters and parcels and returning greetings with a quick wave and a “how do?” Without the work that fills his days, what will be the point? He has no friends, family, or hobbies—just a past he never speaks of and a lost love that fills him with regret.
Rather than continue his lonely existence, Albert forms a brave plan to start truly living. It’s finally time to be honest about who he is, to seek the happiness he’s always denied himself, and to find the courage to look for George, the man who, many years ago, he loved and lost but has never forgotten. As he does, something extraordinary happens: Albert finds unlikely allies, new friends, and proves it’s never too late to live, to hope, and to love.
