Albert Entwistle was a postman. It was one of the few things everyone knew about him. And it was one of the few things he was comfortable with people knowing. Sixty-four-year-old Albert Entwistle has been a postie in a quiet town in Northern England for all his life living alone since the death of his mam eighteen years ago. He keeps himself to himself. He always has. But he's just learned he'll be forced to retire at his next birthday. With no friends and nothing to look forward to the lonely future he faces terrifies him. He realises it's finally time to be honest about who he is. He must learn to ask for what he wants. And he must find the courage to look for the man that many years ago he lost - but has never forgotten . . .
