What book, preferably literary fiction, had the best or most memorable ending for you?

His son being the only person in his entire family to actually love him, and him clearly knowing it, was harrowing for me. Especially as someone who has a father that is fairly beaten down.

Seconding the Phaedo. Reading Plato as a teen, I cried more during the Crito because I was so hormonally moved by Socrates’ sense of duty. The message of hope in Phaedo is what I come back to as an adult, however.

Prone to teenage histrionics. Hormones. Affected in both senses of the word.

I don't think I've ever read serious literature and was impressed by the ending, like it's a movie or something. I guess In Search of Lost Time comes close, but it's not like there's a memorable story or anything, it's more abstract.
