Bookshelf, Library Bag, or Donation Box (Reviews)

I read this one last year and I think I marked it as Library Bag. It was one I was glad I got to try out, but probably nothing I'd read again.
I know I read this book awhile ago and just can't recall what all went on. Didn't know this was a classic! I remember it was really good. Maybe I should try a quick re-read but had donated the book to the library sale.
Bookshelf, bookshelf, bookshelf. It's one of the best books I've read in ages (it was actually a couple of months' ago, but it's fairly fresh in my memory).
I've written a detailed review here.
It starts:
"A lyrical, mysterious tale of misunderstanding and pain, echoing through the years. At its dark heart, it demonstrates how small things can have multiple and major consequences, meaning that everything can change in a single day. "Anything can happen to anyone. It's best to be prepared." - and these fears trigger tragedy..."
(There's only one slight spoiler, and it's hidden with spoiler tags.)







Our reviewing system is divided between three categories: a donation box, a library bag, and a bookshelf. The donation box is for things that you didn't particularly enjoy, don't intend to touch again, or perhaps didn't even finish. Books that you love and want to read over and over are for your bookshelf. The library bag basically covers everywhere in between. You don't have to follow this system, but it is a bit of fun.
