This lovely, hopeful novel begins with an unconventional proposition. Addie, a widow, asks Louis, a widower, if he'll sleep with her. Louis agrees, and a deeply rewarding relationship ensues. People talk; the elderly couple doesn't care. But when Addie's adult son threatens to take Addie's grandson out of her life if she doesn't end her arrangement with Louis, things change. Our Souls at Night will resonate warmly with anyone who's ever fought loneliness.
