What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Can anyone suggest a book that has a sad, but still heartwarming and some how just right feeling ending? Maybe something like the end of one of these:

The Thirteenth Tale
Stones from the River
Two Brothers

Sorry to be terribly vague.

I've not read those, but these are sad but heartwarming

Oh Dear Silvia
One Moment, One Morning
Corrag

James Patterson
- Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
- Sam's Letters to Jennifer

~maybe~
A Father's Secret
The Daddy Pact
Jilted
Nothing Left to Lose
Bronwyn's Stand

~ I love these series, but again, not sure if they are what you're after ~
Tammy Falkner, Tall, Tatted and Tempting
Sophia Summers, Emma Mills, Witchblood

Thanks, these are great!

Bright Side
sad but....heartwarming ending! (Actually it is kind of gut-wrenching but it is a phenomenal book!!!!!)

The Five Stages of Falling in Love
The opening will GUT you, but really great story!!!!


The Color of Heaven
Amazing, incredible story!!!!!

Jojo Moyes - Me before you

A Cry for Hope

A book that will rip your heart out in the middle of the book: Taking Chances Stealing Harper

I Heard the Owl Call My Name

Thanks everyone - as usual I'm spoiled for choice! You guys always have the best suggestions!

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Also, you have to read the whole series for it to make sense, but I thought these books had a beautiful yet sad ending. The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess

PS - I haven't read I Heard the Owl Call my Name in decades. I remember loving it, though.

Sarah Dessen always gives me this feeling.

Good example - so sad, yet you feel very enriched when you're finished with it.

Maybe The Bridge of San Luis Rey? I haven't read it yet but from what I've heard, it seems to fit.

Balthazar Jones and the Tower of London Zoo (U.S. title: The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise)

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

The version of Great Expectations with its author's intended ending--this Signet Classics paperback has it.

You don't mention if you're looking for romance, YA, fantasy, lit fic, or something else, so I'll throw out a few of my favorites in several genres:

The Unlikely Ones
Skellig
The Fionavar books, starting with The Summer Tree (there are at least three places where I *always* cry in these even though I know what's coming)
The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche and Other Odd Acquaintances (the title story, o the title story)
Stories of Your Life and Others (again, the title story...)
Watership Down

And finally, a classic chilren's book: The Velveteen Rabbit

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (the book and the movie end differently)

AMAZING!

Where the Red Fern Grows Wilson Rawls Young Adult and Watership Down Richard Adams

Catwings
Flowers for Algernon
The Giving Tree

The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold The Warrior's Apprentice

Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes Johnny Tremain

Still Alice
The Last Unicorn

It's a go-to suggestion for me frequently, but it fits so many different requests.

Things don't go so well for some of the main character's friends, but I still felt fairly good about it at the end:

The Outsiders

The Quaker Café is one I just finished reading, realized as I was nearing the ending that I was going to start crying, and as I was eating in a public place waited until I got home.
The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel also has a tearful, beautiful ending.

My Sister's KeeperNot sure if you would consider this heartwarming but definitely heart-wrenching and an ending that needed to happen in the context of the story.

In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden In This House of Brede

I had no idea that Fried Green Tomatoes was a book!

Thanks everyone!
