Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, and societal expectations set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia. Following the tumultuous life of Anna, a beautiful aristocrat, the novel delves into her passionate affair with Count Vronsky and the subsequent fallout. Tolstoy masterfully intertwines multiple storylines, exploring themes of fidelity, family, and the search for happiness. It’s a richly textured narrative that has stayed with me long after turning the final page.
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
