"Our Souls at Night" by Kent Haruf is a touching narrative that's as much about finding connection in later years as it is about the resilience of the human spirit. It's a tender, understated romance threaded with the reality of aging, and the prose is both beautiful and unpretentious. This novel would be a poignant read for anyone who appreciates stories of second chances and the idea that it's never too late for love.
