Elderly widow Addie Moore pays a visit to her aging widower neighbor, Louis Waters. They were never close, just knew each other peripherally, which makes the reason for this social call all the more intriguing. Addie would like to know if Louis is interested in sleeping with her. Now, now, this scenario was conceived by the late, great Kent Haruf—Our Souls at Night is no 50 Shades of Geriatric Grey. Set in the same fictional Colorado town as his National Book Award-nominated Plainsong, a town with its fair share of gossips, Addie and Louis embark on an unlikely friendship, an antidote to the loneliness they most exquisitely felt at night. As this friendship deepens, it is tested by said busybodies and meddling family members, plot points that almost distract from what makes this novel such a fitting and sweet swan song. Our Souls at Night was inspired, in part, by Haruf’s own marriage and the intimate, late-night conversations he and his wife relished, just like Addie and Louis. And just like Addie and Louis, Haruf proved that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself, take risks, find love, and write a great novel. --Erin Kodicek
Kent Haruf is the author of six novels (and, with the photographer Peter Brown, West of Last Chance).

Benediction was shortlisted for the Folio Prize. He died in November 2014, at the age of seventy-one.
簡單的語言卻有種能觸動靈魂的力量,貫穿全文的那種bittersweet的感覺讀起來很舒服。未能給五星的原因主要是結局的那種生活的無奈實在是太過苦澀。但是假如想要讀一些能讓人沉下心來的作品的話,推薦這本。
評分艾迪的兒子真是討人厭啊,艾迪這個人物也不討喜,她缺乏勇氣捍衛愛情。這個故事沒什麼特彆的,比較溫吞,也可能是我還沒達到可以去欣賞這個故事的年紀
評分白姨藉給我的書,實話講結尾有一點點莫名其妙的感覺
評分語言樸實,喜歡用大長句 可是沒有想象中的好看
評分70歲瞭還活不透徹……當下的幸福體驗感比淡漠的親情紐帶更重要吧。為什麼要讓那些禁錮自己?!

評分是本赠书,文字简短和干净,两个多小时就能读完。不是很熟悉的作者,却是本作者的遗作,作品有着老年人该有的阅历和深沉,但文字依然能如少年般纯粹。全书读下来有种读一本精简版的《霍乱时期的爱情》的错觉,关于老年人的情感、社会的道德准则、家庭关系的维系。全书主要由简...
