What a sweet little book. A widow and a widower are brought together when the woman suggests they spend their nights together to ward off loneliness. Louis is suspicious, but as Addie gains his trust, their love for each other quickly grows. They are eventually torn apart by Addie's son Gene, who does not trust their relationship. If Gene hadn't been so nasty, especially using his son as a way to break up their trysts, I would have loved this book even more. But, with all Addie's and Louis' loveliness, his downer role was almost unbelievable. Still, a charming, bittersweet tale.
