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.
白姨借给我的书,实话讲结尾有一点点莫名其妙的感觉
评分灵魂是一种怎样的状态呢?或许应该是轻盈、坦诚的。两位老人在夜晚交谈,将过去的一切,连同那些曾经碾过心灵的痛楚也和盘托出,不加修饰。故事就是这样开始的——令人稍稍有些许庆幸的是,故事也是这样结束的。Kent Haruf的语言非常平实隽永,用词很简单(华盛顿邮报的书评里有提到本书里and的运用,认为这是an assumption that we‘re already involved in the lives of these people)。联想到这是他的遗作,总有天鹅咏叹之感:“我想说的,就是这些了。” (另,也让我想到卡波特的草竖琴和麦克林恩的大河恋,如果能写出书评的话想多说说……这是在国庆拥挤的车站给我带来无限慰藉的一本书。)
评分艾迪的儿子真是讨人厌啊,艾迪这个人物也不讨喜,她缺乏勇气捍卫爱情。这个故事没什么特别的,比较温吞,也可能是我还没达到可以去欣赏这个故事的年纪
评分很早以前看过电影。书比电影好太多了,温柔冷静的笔风很喜欢!一开始Eddie来敲门的那一段对话就会把人深深吸引。结局真是有点难过...经历过漫长的一生再经历结局的离别会是咋样的体验呢
评分70岁了还活不透彻……当下的幸福体验感比淡漠的亲情纽带更重要吧。为什么要让那些禁锢自己?!
其实我以前理想的人生规划是 在年轻的时候尝试够很多新奇特别的事情 探索人生的各种可能 在我年老色衰 步履蹒跚的时候 选择安乐 我不想体验有气无力的生活 当我的精力渐褪 生命开始衰败 希望那时候我已经没有遗憾 与其苟延残喘 牙齿掉光 头发花白 不如在此之前坦然的...
评分长日将尽,我们的肉体总有陨灭的时候。但在那之前,两颗孤独的灵魂,是否还有在一起的可能? 美国荒凉的中西部,丹佛附近的一个小镇上。这里几乎每个人都认识对方,家长里短的八卦传播程度不亚于中国的任何一个县城。丧偶的老太太艾迪•摩尔给她多年不来往的...
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...
评分朋友被封面和介绍所吸引,感觉和《岛上书店》里虚构的《迟暮花开》所述主题类似,遂在书店买下了此书,而我则是后来在图书馆看到了此书,遂借来翻翻。朋友说,就喜欢这种排版的书,每页的字数少,间距大,翻起来特别爽,一个下午就能翻完。确实如此,而且书中并没有什么情节可...
