Our Souls At Night

I very much enjoyed Our Souls At Night by Kent Haruf (his last novel).  Set in a small American town with two elderly people Louis and Addie developing a strong friendship.  Addie approached Louis inviting him to stay the night and talk.  They acknowledged they were both lonely and they each welcomed the friendship.  They did not try to hide that they were meeting and ignored those who tut-tutted about it.  This is such a beautiful well-written story.  It is only a small book, 179 pages, so easy to read and enjoy.  This book featured on Jennifer Byrne's Book Club (this link to iView - Series 10, episode 12) and it is one of the few books which the whole panel loved.  Highly recommended. 5/5
