ginbat 's review for:
Anna Karénina
by Leo Tolstoy
dark
reflective
sad
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Yes, it’s long, but imo it’s only like 100 pages longer than needed, not the 500 I originally thought. Great Gatsby meets Les Miserables lowkey. There’s too many characters (do all the side characters really need names?), but it’s realistic. The author does a great job with making the characters painfully human.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Infidelity, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Suicide attempt
Moderate: Mental illness, Grief, Pregnancy
Minor: Drug use, Miscarriage, Sexism
Morphine used as a painkiller, MCD by suicide , lots of suicidal thinking by multiple characters
