Great books that make you cry

[ChipsEclipse]

What was the last book you read that you loved but made you cry?

The Kite Runner.

‘cool’ by Michael,Morpurgo, about a boy in a coma following an accident. The story is told throughnthe boys eyes, what he sees, hears and believed to have happened in the accident. The ending bought tears to my eyes.

Officially a children’s book, but definantly an adult read.

Watership Down, I re-read it every 5 years ish.
Ditto To Kill a Mockingbird.

An equal music

A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Grapes of wrath for me.

On the beach

The green mile

The Hand that First Held Mine - total blubbafest

Great start thanks, am going to start writing my to read list!

This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kaye. Maybe not great in high brow literary terms, but it made me both laugh and sob.

The Book Thief (sobbed my heart out!)

The Fault in Our Stars

Memoirs of a Geisha

My Best Friends Girl (sobbed on a sun lounger on honeymoon reading this one!)

I love a good weepy book!

Bridges of Maddison county. Cried so much reading it I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch the film.

A little life

@Mmmhmmokdear yes! Really enjoyed The Kite Runner. Harrowing in parts though!

Pillars of the Earth

The time travellers wife

The outsiders. Still well up when I think 'Stay gold, ponyboy, stay gold'

The time traveller's wife. Gets me every time.
One day.

Just finished Maggie O Farrell ' I Am, I Am, I Am', all real life accounts of her brushes with death..incredible, and so emotional!

Charlotte Gray. I have never cried as much reading a book as I did reading that.

The snow child. Its quite a few years now since I read it, and I may have been an emotional wreck following a mc at the time. But I properly sobbed while reading it.

More recently, I avoid books that make me cry but dd2 loves proper tear jerkers. So we've read "Running free" by Michael Morpurgo. I sobbed at a few places, DD laughed at me.

The thunderbolt pony by Stacey Gregg. Also a children's book. Also saw me crying and DD laughing at me. Within the first 3 chapters this kid had so much go wrong with her life!!! It does get happier towards the end though.

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

The Guernsey potato peel one had me in floods.
How green was my valley by Richard llewellyn

Bel Canto (by Ann Patchett)
