"'Albert Nobbs' first appeared in A story-teller's holiday by George Moore (1918). It was later published in Celibate lives by George Moore (1927)"--T.p. verso.
"With a foreword by Glenn Close" -- cover.
"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's carefully constructed facade nearly implodes when the stranger discovers his true identity--that he's acutally 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"--P. [4] of cover.

good submitted by Jackie77 on August 4, 2015, 6:19am Good book based on a woman living as a man in Ireland. She's working as a butler and saving money to own her own business. The movie was good as well.
