Looking for a Most Emotional Book

[prabha_friend]

Which should bring tears on your Eyes. On Every chapter!

 

[The_Doc_Man]

You are looking for something that is different for everyone. A book has to be well-written, well enough that you can imagine yourself in a given situation. The author has to "click" with you - but here is where the problem inherent in your question pops up. Every author is different. Every reader is different in how they react to each author. A book that moves me to tears might have no effect on another person. What you requested is a subjective issue. A book with a high level of poignancy might be hard to find unless you already have a high degree of empathy.

The thing that brings tears to MY eyes with regularity is my annual federal tax return. (Fortunately, these days it is a quick read.) It might sound like I just gave you a dismissive example - but the point is that if you can't "connect" with the content of the story, it isn't going to move you to tears, and that connection is the most important aspect of your question.

That tax return

My hands down tearjerker/feel good movie is Fiddler on the Roof. It's a four hankie movie but filled with hope. I tend to not read touchy/feely books.

Social media went crazy with people's reactions while reading A Little Life, a Novel by Hanya Yanagihara. (Though the author name is Japanese, but she's actually an American Novelist)

Some quotes from Insta:
@freaky_soul29 : every single time I hear this name, my heart breaks. This is the sort of book you could never read again.
@iamsvt_ : Can you recommend a book that makes me feel this way? No, you can not.
@81_hah2w :I think I never knew heartache before this book
@ritawingfield : that’s the only book I’ve ever thrown across the room and sobbed

Note:
I've not read it. It's not a recommendation from me. It was just a heat wave a while back.

May I ask, why do you want cry and cry after reading a book. If am correct, you want to read a book which will make you cry.
Sorry but I did not understand this criteria for a reading book.

"What is the What", by Dave Eggers.

I'd give it to you if you were close. It will change your life, at least for a while

It's a story of one of the Walking boys from Sudan - very well written, humorous at times, obviously very sad at times, but very educational and emotional
