After living a quiet life alone with his cat and working as a postman, Albert Entwistle is informed that it's time for him to retire. He realizes that he's about to lose the only way he connects with other people, so he sets out to change that. Albert starts trying to make friends, and he also thinks it may be time to share who he really is--and find George, the love of his life who he lost years before. I loved listening to Albert's journey to connection and acceptance. His deep shame and fear about his sexuality being discovered were so sad and affected his entire life--in ways that were probably not uncommon. Albert is a lovely character and he forms a number of delightful friendships. If you liked A Man Called Ove, give this one a try.
