Our Souls at Night

Friendship. Kent Haruf was an American writer who used his fine writing skills to reveal the deep and abiding goodness in our human nature. The last book he wrote is titled, Our Souls at Night, and I highly recommend it to any reader who wants to feel good after reading a book. Protagonists Addie Moore and Louis Waters had been neighbors, and not quite friends. Their respective spouses had died and each now lives alone. Haruf draws them together through all the best elements of a talented writer: finely written descriptive language, realistic dialogue and the revelation of human behavior in all its complexity and wonder. Through talk and touch, a friendship develops between Addie and Louis that will delight any reader. Rating: Five-star (I love it) Click here to purchase Our Souls at Night from amazon.com.
