Book to Film Club (Our Souls at Night)

This month we'll be watching the film Our Souls at Night (TV-14, 103 minutes) on our own through Netflix and having a discussion about the book and film over Zoom. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Kent Haruf. The e-book and audiobook are always available on Libby and the book is available to check out from the library. If you would like to participate, please sign up for the event and you will be sent the Zoom meeting details. *If you would like to watch the film but don't have access to Netflix, please contact Dan Compton. 

Synopsis: Addie Moore and Louis Waters, a widow and widower, have lived next door to each other for years. When Addie tries to make a connection with her neighbor, the two begin sleeping in bed together platonically, with the innocent goal of alleviating their shared loneliness. As their relationship deepens, however, they each deal with grief and loss, and a real romance begins to blossom.
