Best tearjerker

Hi,

Any recommendations for good tearjerker books? I have read the usual My sisters keeper
Time travellers wife
The note book (and most of his other books)
Me before you
Fault in our stars
PS I love you

I don't like books set any earlier than the 1980's

Thank you

The lovely bones, I honestly broke my heart for the majority of it. Haven't been able to read it again which I have a tendency to do!

The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams.

It actually has a happy ending but OMG I was an absolute mess reading it.

A Thousand Splendid Suns or Kite Runner, both by Khaled Hosseini. Absolutely beautiful stories.

After You'd Gone by Maggie O'Farrell. I cried proper ugly tears.
