I was entirely absorbed by this book 80% of the time, the other 20% was spent shouting at Tolstoy for talking about himself (Levin) more than the title character. There’s only so much I want to know about farming and his finding god, I realise there are two narratives in this book, but in my humble opinion Anna’s is far more entertaining and her final moments are disappointingly brief.

Still absolutely beautifully written.

Entiendo por qué es un clásico, pero no era para mí. Esto de los dramas familiares y románticos me supera, es como mirar una telenovela histórica.
