I am new to reading and can merely name one or two authors. That's why I want to know about your authors.
Out of the novels I've read so far I am getting quite bored of the happy endings and I really need a heart-break. I try to search on web but the books I could find were classics like "Romeo & Juliet", "Of Mice and Men" and I want something more contemporary.
I have read Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult and One Day by David Nicholls and that's the kind of book I am looking for - my heart went very heavy through the last pages.
So do you have any suggestions on a novel you have read that made you cried, or almost did, on the last page? I welcome all authors as I think I am still in the searching stage. It not necessarily has to be a romance; it can be about a loss or a memoir of a family member, a life of failures, all kind of sadness.
