I don't know if disturbing is the word I'd use but Empire Falls left me feeling profoundly sad for a few weeks after finishing it. It was a beautiful book and I'd recommend it to anyone but it definitely stuck with me for a bit and was hard to shake

As long as it unsettles you in some way, it counts.
