Anna Karenina is the tragic story of a married aristocrat/socialite and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky.

It is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, published in serial installments from 1873 to 1877 in the periodical The Russian Messenger. ...more

Took me twice as long as it should have, seeing as I was hardly home the last three weekends, but I finally finished, and am glad I decided to tackle this one. Excellent novel, though I advise the more sensitive/emotional readers keep tissue on hand for part seven. Lots of thoughts on this one, but I don't want to give away any spoilers, and some of the thoughts aren't all that concrete yet. Highly recommend!
