The best last sentences

I mentioned in last week’s column that I’d be sharing book prompt ideas two weeks in a row, because I forgot to include ideas in the column for Feb. 28. This week the prompt is to read titles based on the last sentence of the book. This was a prompt I borrowed from another list and had to go searching for books that were supposed to have the best last sentences. Here are eight titles that I’ve read that I could agree had a good last sentence. The subject matters vary tremendously, and they were written between 1868 and 2005, so other than their last sentence being a marvelous end to the book very little in common.
