Books that make you cry

[channelthirtytwo]

Finished One last Summer at hideaway Bay in floods of tears and its left me wanting to read more emotional books. What are your top tips for tearjerkers please?

A Thousand Splendid Suns is the last book I remember making me properly sob as opposed to feeling a little sad.

Another one for A thousand splendid suns. I also burst into tears at the end of the book thief....I was so attached to the characters in the street and it seemed so cruel.

All The Light We Cannot See- amazing!

A Thousand Splendid Suns killed me.
Louis de Bernieres' Latin American trilogy

Atonement

Never let me go made me sob.

Try a crack in forever, makes me sob every time I read it.

A thousand splendid sun's
Me before you
Ps I love you

His Dark Materials when the lad gets separated from his daemon. I read it years and years ago but can still well up when I think about it!

Light a Penny Candle
Marley and Me
The Lovely Bones

The Storyteller Jodi Picoult sobbed reading it .Story involving Auschwitz

Sarah's key

I had to keep stopping because I was crying so hard I couldn't see.

I rarely cry so this was unusual.

I live very near where it is set and I can't forget it.

After you'd gone.
The fault in

Hannahs gift and the follow up (name fails me). Utterly heart wrenching and a must read for all parents.

Our stars!

Atonement.
Never let me go.
The boy in the striped pyjamas.

Through a Glass Darkly
Adolphus Tips

The Nightingale about the French occupation during WW2. I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed and almost had to put the book in the freezer like Joey in Friends.

Also The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It's actually a kids book but there's one really sad chapter.

Bridges of Maddison County

His dark materials did for me, too.

A Little Life is certainly harrowing and is not a book without faults but that too did get to me in the end.

Goodnight,Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson.
I'd read My Best Friends Girl and loved it then read a couple more of hers and was a bit meh. I then started Goodnight , Beautiful and nearly gave up on it , I just couldn't get in to it. Then something clicked and I couldn't put it down. I usually only read in bed at night but with this book , everytime the kids were occupied , I'd quickly read a bit more. When I got to the end , I cried my eyes out and I've never cried because of a book. I lent it to family and friends telling them to persevere if they found it difficult at the beginning and they've all loved it too. It now sits on my bookshelf - the only book not to have been read at least twice , because as much as I love it, I don't want to go through that emotional wringer again!

The Invisible Bridge Julie Orringer.
Just so sad, heartwarming and everything

Lovely bones..especially the end!

Me before you..the sequel less so!

Long journey home..even though saw the film (lion) it still got me going!

Another vote for Me before You.

And Susan's diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. Not his normal type of book but one page in it made me properly sob.

Basted The Nightingale for me too. I mainly read it on the train and there were so many tears . People looked at me like
