Review: Our Souls at Night

Our Souls at Night Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful story about two people, Louis and Addie who are widowed and lonely. Addie is tired of being alone and makes a move to deepen the friendship between herself and Louis. They become very close and spend their nights together.

Addie's son disapproves of the relationship and stops them, and removes his mother to an assisted living facility.

This gives us all food for thought. Addie doesn't want to lose her family but really, doesn't she have a right to be happy?

It is a small book with an important message for everyone, no matter what your age.
