*The Curse of Chalion*. I cried when I read it the first time, in 2005. Recently I reread it without crying, but then thorbol read it, and when we talked about it and I mentioned the scenes that had moved me most, I lost it again.
My first thought was also Bujold, although I was thinking of Cordelia's Honor (the first 2 books in the Vorkosigan series) and possibly Paladin of Souls, although you're right that Curse of Chalion is totally one of those books.
