Long out of print, George Moore's classic novella returns just in time for the

major motion picture starring Glenn Close as a woman disguised as a man in

nineteenth-century Ireland.Set in a posh hotel in nineteenth-century Dublin,

Albert Nobbs is the story of an unassuming waiter hiding a shocking secret.

Forced one night to share his bed with an out-of-town laborer, Albert Nobbs'

carefully constructed facade nearly implodes when the stranger disovers his

true identity-that he's actually a woman. Forced by this revelation to look

himself in the mirror, Albert sets off in a desperate pursuit of companionship

and love, a search he's unwilling to abandon so long as he's able to preserve

his fragile persona at the same time. A tale of longing and romance, _Albert

Nobbs_ is a moving and startlingly frank gender-bending tale about the risks

of being true to oneself. With **a foreword by Glenn Close**.
