Heavy books

[Anonymous]

Too many to list. But a couple that have stuck with me:

Salvage the Bones
The Narrow Road to the Deep North

I'm finding The Berry Pickers to be heavy.

If you try The Burning, I'd be curious what you think. I haven't seen any discussion on the book.

What author for The Burning? I see a few different books with that title.

Also wondering.

Not the one who recommended it but I read A Burning by Meghan Majumdar and liked it, heavy but readable.

I would also recommend A Little Life and Shuggie Bain.

I loved Angela’s Ashes. It can be dark but I wouldn’t say it’s “heavy.”
