The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle

Bookseller recommendation

“I absolutely loved this precious and endearing story! Nearing 65 and on the verge of retirement from the British Postal Service, Albert Entwistle finally finds the courage to take control of his own happiness and search for his long lost love, George. Throughout his journey, Albert receives support from a cast of unlikely companions. Definitely make this your next listen if you enjoy heartwarming stories about self-discovery, fighting for a forbidden love, and the positive impact of a chosen family. This is a great read for fans of Fredrik Backman and Phaedra Patrick.”

“Oh my goodness, how much do I love Albert, a 65 year old postman in Lancashire, England? Well....a little bit more than I did yesterday and a little bit less than I will tomorrow. Such a lovely, funny, sad but uplifting book that will warm the cockles of your heart, and prove that it's never too late to turn your life around. A story about hope, love, courage and standing up for yourself, it made me laugh out loud and cry real tears too! Loved every single thing about this book, it's a definite must-listen-to!”

“If paddington bear was a gay old man. Albert cut himself off from getting to know people along time ago but with things changing quickly in his life he realizes that he misses the connections he once had. He is in search for an old flame while also opening himself up to the people around him on his search. A sweet wholesome tale that reminds you that you are never too old for a coming-of-age story.”
