7. Our Souls At Night

by Kent Haruf (179pp, ebook)

Bob and I first read Kent Haruf when he wrote the book Plainsong. I vividly remember going to Powell's on Hawthorne to see him speak. It was small crowd and he was soft-spoken but immediately likeable.

This books was written as he was dealing with cancer and his last published novel. It's a very sweet story about two elderly people finding love and companionship late in life. I saw it's a movie with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford and put it on my list.
