具体描述
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

评分kindle推荐阅读时长一个半小时，想来应该是比较容易理解的小说。每天那么多的快速阅读量，让我在小说开始的慢节奏几乎想要放弃它。在杰米来了之后，感觉上可能是一个美好的夕阳红的故事，反而心生了一些希望。我们在现在的生活中存在着那么多的条条框框，那么多在意的世俗眼光...

评分两个人，在70岁时开始慢慢了解彼此，走进彼此的生活，慢慢地喜欢上对方。“我决定要自由地活着”，“我才不在乎别人是怎么看的，我只是在做自己想做的事情而已，既没有伤风败俗，也没有伤害别人” 作者的确是在用十分朴实无华的文字，平静地叙述一个故事，内核触及到一些少有人...

用户评价
简单的语言却有种能触动灵魂的力量，贯穿全文的那种bittersweet的感觉读起来很舒服。未能给五星的原因主要是结局的那种生活的无奈实在是太过苦涩。但是假如想要读一些能让人沉下心来的作品的话，推荐这本。
