Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf

Addie and Louis are neighbors and both long time widow/widowers. Addie misses the late night conversations she had with her husband, so one day she visits Louis with a proposal. Would he like to spend the night sometimes just for conversation and company?

This short, tiny book packs quite the emotional punch. It can be easily read in an afternoon, but it might stay with you for awhile longer after that.
