Summary

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.
