What this book is about
Addie Moore knocks on her neighbor Louis Waters's door with an unusual proposition: would he like to come over and sleep with her — just sleep, for company. Haruf's final novel is quiet, warm, and deeply moving — a meditation on loneliness, courage, and whether it's too late to make a new life.
