This is quite embarrassing really, but last night I read the delightful book 'The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane' by Kate Dicamillo and I actually shed a tear at the end.
It got me thinking that surely this is the definition of a successful fiction writer - to inflict such an emotional impact on the reader. (well certainly to me it's one of the most important aims).
It just reinforces the power and beauty of books.
(Or maybe I was just a bit hormonal that day!)
Have any books you read recently made you cry?
