I found And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini very sad, to the point of depressing, more so than his two previous books. All three are exceptionally good.
* ‘1948’ by George Orwell * ‘No Longer At Ease’ by Chinua Achebe * ‘Things Fall Apart’ by Chunua Achebe * ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ by Feydor Dostoevsky.
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. A young adult fiction about Nazi Germany set in a concentration camp & told through the innocent eyes of a German child. Tear jerker.
“The Dollmaker” by Harriette Simpson Arnow, , “The Book Thief”, and “Station Eleven”, I wouldn’t call them sad but they’re books that make a person think.
I love tragedy novels as well, it I don’t like sad endings. They’re more realistic, but they weigh on my for far too long. I’m one of those people who needs time to get over tricky or sad endings. I like tragedies that have that sense of redemption.
I feel the same way.My kids said that I’m too emotional because it takes days for me to get over with what happened in the story that I read. I don’t know why but I always feel I’m part of everything that I read. Sometimes I feel like I am not normal
I’m not seeing John Steinbeck or William Faulkner here yet. Most of Steinbeck’s major novels have a lot of tragic element in them, as do Faulkner’s. I won’t name specific titles because, once again, that’s the tendency with the best-known works of both writers. Well, maybe I’ll single out “Of Mice and Men,” which is one of the saddest, greatest short works ever written.
