Thank you! Read Benediction next- it is so beautiful. Sorry, Haruf makes me bossy and evangelical!

Sad that he is gone but I have a great backlist to tackle, now. What you wrote here sums it up best for me: “Our Souls at Night is not a treacle-y Hallmark card for senior citizens but a fragile reflection on love, respect and kindness at all ages. Even at its saddest Haruf’s writing is a soothing balm to the frenetic rawness of today’s world.” YES!

Oh, Cynthia, you of all people will love him. So spare but…I don’t have the words. Benediction was my favorite.
