ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf tells the story of Addie Moore and Louis Waters, elderly neighbors in the town of Holt who find themselves facing the quiet solitude of their twilight years. Seeking solace from their loneliness, Addie proposes a simple yet unconventional arrangement: they will sleep in the same bed and talk through the night. This intimate companionship sparks a profound connection between them, challenging the norms of their small community and impacting their relationships with their grown children. The narrative gently explores themes of aging, the universal desire for human connection, and the courage to redefine relationships late in life.
