What books have made you REALLY REALLY cry?

[QuimReaper]

The only one I can think of for myself is "Goodnight Mr Tom", when Zach dies, but especially when Willie has to leave to go back to London

Ps I love you, I didn’t realise it would be so sad and read it on a bus! Someone gave me a tissue

Me before you
The fault in our stars
The book thief

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

A man called Ove
The Nightingale
The Lovely Bones

Maybe I just cry alot!

I read Five Children on the Western Front a couple of years ago. It's a modern day follow up to Five Children and It. I wept and wept. Don't know why it affected me so much. Maybe just a reminder of how awful the first world war was for a whole generation.

The end of the affair by Graham Greene. That's a 'can't see the words on the page for crying' book for me.

If I stay, Gayle Foreman.
Girl loses her family in a car accident and has to decide whether to wake up from the coma and deal with the grief, or let herself die.

One book which definitely does this for me is '84 Charing Cross Road', which is quite an old book now, but is a true story . Oh my goodness even now I cry thinking of it, (and the film too !)

A Little Life had me howling.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles

And Goodnight Mr Tom!

The time traveller's wife was the worst. I've read it twice, first time I sobbed, the second time destroyed me. I cry quite easily reading so I don't know what happened to me but I felt really miserable for about a week after. Much as I loved it I don't think I can let myself read it again.

The Night The Angels Came - Cathy Glass
When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanathi
Childhood Disrupted - Donna Jackson Nazakawa
Seeress of Kell - David Eddings

Me before you I was howling at my husband was lay beside me very confused as I really don't cry often..

Oh The end of the Affair - Does he say - I did not die, but nothing of life remains?

Hope I'm right - Because you have robbed me of the thing I loved most in life, I will rob you of that you love most in me. So profound!

Also - The Reader

Rilla of Ingleside - it's one of the later Anne of Green Gables books set during WW1 and it makes me sob every time (I've read it loads of times).

One Day by David Nichols. Sobbing on the tube.
