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**.
