Reader_333is looking for a Book in Tearjerker Tales

Are there any well-known books that will make you devastated? Not in a sobbing, dramatic, everyone dies way... But a damning, traumatic, hopeless, lie in your bed contemplating society and start crying 5 hours after reading kinda way. (I just read Streetcar named Desire and How to Kill a Mockingbird and I need more)
