NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A spare yet eloquent, bittersweet yet
inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together
to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the
imminent future.
In the familiar setting of Holt, Colorado, home to all of Kent Haruf's
inimitable fiction, Addie Moore pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor,
Louis Waters.
Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town
they naturally have known of each other for decades; in fact, Addie was
quite fond of Louis's wife. His daughter lives hours away, her son even
farther, and Addie and Louis have long been living alone in empty
houses, the nights so terribly lonely, especially with no one to talk
with. But maybe that could change?
As Addie and Louis come to know each other better--their pleasures and
their difficulties--a beautiful story of second chances unfolds, making
Our Souls at Night the perfect final installment to this beloved
writer's enduring contribution to American literature.
