 An absolutely haunting read. I really recommend this; this is one of those books you could totally see at being a studied classic in the future, if we had a choice in that.

It deals with death and family, and is a reminder of how fleeting life can be, for anyone. (less) [edit]

Really enjoyed this read, and probably binge-read it way too quick to the detriment of my sleeping schedule. A beautiful story.
