Anna has blatantly got borderline personality disorder - Tolstoy may not have known to call it that, but it oozes out of her every pore.
I didn't find many of the characters likeable. Oblonsky was fun enough. Kitty was harmless. Levin on the other hand - ergh! What a sop! Me, me ,me... my place in the world, philosophy blah blah blah.
Tolstoy could have snipped off 100 pages and it would have been a perfect 5 star outing. He went on a bit too long about fields, harvesting and peasants for me though.
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Death, and Terminal illness
Minor: Religious bigotry, Pregnancy, and Miscarriage

Anna’s affair was really well-written, especially
Levin’s story was a bit hit or miss with me. Often nothing was really happening, but I do like his complicated character, and
Very very slow, pace yourself, but an interesting journey into people’s psychology.

Listened on Audible to understand the emotions felt by characters better than reading extended descriptions and thankful for it.
