I am in need of recommendations for a really sad book that will make me cry…
Ps I love you – made me cry every time I read some of it
OMG! Not ” Angela’s Ashes”! Most depressing book ever.. I avoided reading it.. then relented and went to see the movie… ever worse!
Sarah’s Key, and Winter Garden- Kristen Hannah.
The book thief, A crack in forever.
Tess of the D’Uberville by Thomas Hardy
Tuesdays with Morrie ?
First last kiss – Aly (can’t remember surname)
The kite runner and goodnight beautiful
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.
Following
schindler’s list/ark
jude the obscure
Sarah’s Key
Still alice
the storyteller- jodi picoult
Never Say Die – Dr Chris O’Brien (Australian)
Me before you
I also second the recommendation of Marley. It will make you laugh out loud. And then cry.
“Charlie & Pearl” by Tammy Robinson.
The book thief…great big heaving sobs
Me before you, I cried through the last few chapters ?
Me without you
Just about half way through the first last kiss and it has made me weep. Didn’t really get into the story and the timeline of the chapters at first. Enjoying it now.
The Kite Runner, Of Mice and Men, The Remains of the Day
Why????
I can’t begin to tell you elizabeth buchan
@Alexa For the Reading Challenge 2015, one of the requirements is “A book that made you cry”. I want to read something I’ve never read before….so I asked for suggestions. 🙂
Ah! Now I understand. Ok so Still Alice, The Book Thief, Sarah’s Key – wept from start to finish. Have you read all those? Then there is After Long Silence byHelen Freemont – very powerful.
The History of Love, one of my all time favourite books. Beautifully written, sometimes funny, sometimes painfully sad.
@Alexa – do we have Still Alice – see it mentioned quite a lot.
@Su – not sure – check with Ann!!
Another TEAR JERKER “1000 Splendid Suns” I couldn’t stop crying!
Marley and Me ?
Also “My beautiful daughter”
My sisters keeper.
I agree with Annarita. All three books by Khaled Hosseini are very poigant books.
Maggie, it’s good that you explained why you were looking for a book to make you cry- I’d been wondering why too! I’d have a terribly hard job finding a book that could make me cry!!
I bet you’d cry if you read “Charlie & Pearl” by Tammy Robinson Chana.
The Art of racing in the rain…
I’m not convinced Jackie! Books don’t move me in that way but I have cried in the odd film.
Try reading the Lost Wife by Alyson Richman
F
“The Fault in Our Stars”.
@Maggie… What is this Reading Challenge 2015?
@Alexa… “Sarah’s Key” was AMAZING!!!!
@Pete … I reposted it publicly on my page for easy access. Check it out. 🙂
Tuesdays with Morrie, anything of Mitch Albom’s really
@Maggie. Was that on your own book club page, or elsewhere?
I actually just found it. I was looking at the pics on this page, and saw it there. Looks daunting, but fun. Lol
