Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
I cried reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Like ugly cry. Also with Monsieur Linh and his Child by Phillipe Claudel. VERY different books, but both turned on the waterworks.
Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
The art of racing in the rain. And the dogs of babel
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
A man called Ove and And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Fredrik Backman
* Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go; A Pale View of Hills
* Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner; A Thousand Splendid Suns
* Ocean Vuong: On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
* Hanya Yanagihara: A Little Life
Les Mis – it’s very very long but the build up makes the characters depth unlike other books and their tragedies so much more gut wrenching. I cry multiples times during read-throughs!
The book thief and every book by Kristin Hannah, i sobbed like a baby at Winter garden
Moloka’i by Alan Brennert was so beautiful and heartbreaking and the first book that made me cry in a long time
The Kite Runner and The Great Alone… I recently read them, back to back actually and they’re both tear jerkers. And I usually don’t cry when reading. Loved them both.
The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne!
Crying in H Mart if you haven’t read it
Where the Red Fern Grows, good luck
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys.
