It's hard to think of the saddest - there are lot of books that deal with
sadness (I'm curious, why is Bridge over the River Drina loathsome,
Jennifer? Is the book horrible, or does it deal with horror? should books
not deal with horrible things?)
But maybe the most devastating book I know of - the ending is one of the
most profoundly sad I know - is The Last of the Just, Andre Schwartz-Bart.
Cheers
