A review by emmacolon
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

"I shall still be as unable to understand with my reason why I pray, and I shall still go on praying; but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it."

it took me five years to read this BUT OH MY GOD I LOVED IT SO MUCH. everything about this story is EXQUISITE. the drama, the romance, the exisitentialism, the politics, the banter, the social commentary, the tragedy. just wow. just....WOW.
