i would say ‘Disgrace’ and ‘Life and times of Michael K’, both by J.M. Coetzee are very sad novels, very poignant and emotionally draining… great novels..by a great writer

Atonement by Ian McEwan
Its unbelievably sad since its not only about the to people who deserved to happy together but died seperately, but also about the life-long remorse of that one person who so foolishly, so pointlessly caused it.
I therefore reccomend Atonement to be ranked on top of the saddest of all novels.

“O, no! the apprehension of the good
Gives but the greater feeling to the worse” shakespeare.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro is also an incredibly sad book. I cried the first time I read it.
