I’m looking for a good fiction book that will truly be heartbreaking. What are your recommendations for gut wrenching fiction books. If you leave a suggestion can you also put a brief description of the book please and thank you.
The Truce – Mario Benedetti . Written in a kind of personal diary, tells the story of a lonely man who is about to retire and falls in love with his younger employee. Very warm but also very sad book.

The Green Mile by Steven King. Cried so hard I couldn’t see the book.
Set primarily in 1932, it’s a death row supervisors’ reflection of his time working at that facility, specifically his experience with one inmate.
