Secret Life of Albert Entwistle

In January we'll start the new year with a story about Albert Entwistle, a private man with a quiet, simple life. He lives alone with his cat Gracie and he’s a postman who's recently been forced into retirement. After Albert’s sole connection with his world unravels he forms a brave plan to start truly living. Albert finds the courage to look for George, the man that, many years ago, he loved and lost -- but has never forgotten. Along the way, he finds unlikely allies, new friends, and proves it’s never too late to live and to love. This fan-favorite novel has been described as touching, humorous and charmingly wise. Beloved British author Matt Cain's other works include The Madonna of Bolton and Becoming Ted, and in 2025 he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his writing in service of the LGBT+ community. The Secret Life of Matt Entwistle is available in local libraries and online, and is 391 pages long. Narrator Simon Vance reads the audio version of the book. Start the year with this uplifting read!
