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。
评分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?!
