Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman and TJ Klune, this humorous, life-affirming, and charmingly wise novel tells the story of how the forced retirement of a shy, closeted postman in northern England creates a second chance with his lost love, as he learns to embrace his true self, connect with his community, and finally experience his life's great adventure...-- Amazon. Albert Entwistle is a private man, living alone with his cat Gracie. And he's a postman--at least until three months before his sixty-fifth birthday when he is forced into retirement. His sole connection with his world unravels. Every day as a mail carrier he would make his way through the streets of his small English town, delivering letters and parcels and returning greetings. Without the work that fills his days, what will be the point? Rather than continue his lonely existence, Albert forms a brave plan to start truly living: be honest about who he is and seek the happiness he's always denied himself. And to find the courage to look for George, the man that, many years ago, he loved and lost, but has never forgotten. -- adapted from back cover
