“I loved Kent Haruf's small-town love story”David Nicholls
“So beautiful; quietly gripping, full of love, humour and gentle shocks. Our Souls at Night is a perfect tribute to a truly extraordinary writer.”Donal Ryan, author of The Spinning Heart
“I don't think there's a false word in Kent Haruf's final novel, Our Souls in the Night . . . Many novels have been about the pursuit of happiness, but this one is luminous with its actual presence”Ursula K Le Guin, Guardian
“Gritty, painful and human . . . his novels are imbued with an affection and understanding that transform the most mundane details into poetry . . . Haruf's final novel is a beacon of hope; he is sorely missed”Francesca Wade, Financial Times
