Praise for The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle: "Albert is one of the most endearing characters I've met in a long time, a man struggling to reclaim his authentic self. His tender, heartbreaking, agonizing, but ultimately joyous journey is proof that it's never too late to find a happy ending." --Susan Wiggs , # 1 New York Times bestselling author " The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle is a heartfelt coming-of-age story--first love and first loss, new friends and new identities, the realization that your parents aren't who you think they are--except that the age Albert is coming-of is retirement. The most remarkable thing about the many wonderful love stories in this novel is how unremarkable they are after all." --Laurie Frankel , New York Times bestselling author "Wonderful. Written with such a good heart, filled with joy and strength and optimism. Like the best fiction, it's real; Albert's fears, the sour legacy of his parents, his colleagues' kindness, George flourishing from boy to man.It's inventive and fun but most importantly, true.
" --Russell T Davies "This rollicking romance entrapped me! True in its detail and its scope, it is amusing yet heart-breaking. It will encourage tentative young gay people and reassure their parents. Its passionate declaration? That it's never too late to enjoy being yourself." -- Ian McKellen "A wonderful old-fashioned romance, with a serious side, a tender autumn love story that will have every reader cheering on Albert from the sidelines. An utter treat." -- Kate Mosse "Tender, witty and uplifting. I loved it." -- Kate Eberlen "A beautiful book.
You will weep and yet have your heart filled with joy." -- Arlene Phillips "I raced through this heart-warming story of a closeted gay postman searching for a lost love that also examines the everyday bigotry that's blighted generations of the LGBTQ+ community." -- The Guyliner "What a beautiful, wonderful, life-affirming treat of a book. I challenge you not to fall in love with Albert from the very start!" -- Charlie Condou "I had to read it in one sitting. I loved it! Really heart-warming and joyful, but also so poignant. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's such a beautifully authentically told story with vivid characters and you will miss them when you reach the end." --Lorraine Kelly "Albert is such an endearing character--flawed, funny and awkward, but completely relatable.
I wanted to give him a good shake and then a huge hug. This is a wonderfully warm story that completely drew me in." --Ruth Hogan "Prepare to fall in love with Albert Entwistle! Another wonderfully heart-wrenching story from Matt. Touching and tender." --S. J. Watson "I thoroughly enjoyed it. Albert is delightful and charming, and the book is too.
" -- Jonathan Harvey "A bright, clear sharply intelligent writer." -- Jenny Colgan.
