'I loved Kent Haruf's small-town love story' David Nicholls

'Many novels have been about the pursuit of happiness, but this one is luminous with its actual presence' Guardian

This is a love story.
A story about growing old with grace.

Addie Moore and Louis Waters have been neighbours for years. Now they both live alone, their houses empty of family, their quiet nights solitary. Then one evening Addie pays Louis a visit.

Their brave adventures form the beating heart of Our Souls at Night, Kent Haruf's exquisite final novel.

'One of the great poets of the modern novel' Peter Carey

'Haruf's final novel is a beacon of hope' Financial Times
