A review by fleabags
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

“He looked at her as a man might look at a faded flower he had plucked, in which it was difficult for him to trace the beauty that had made him pick and so destroy it”

the moments of passion, the profound emotional turmoil and deep introspection found within these pages are truly unforgettable. i went through every emotion imaginable reading this book. the brilliance of Tolstoy's mind shines through in his rich and descriptive writing, painting vivid sceneries and presenting these characters that are beautifully woven together with all their own complexities, struggles and desires. i found a deeper level of appreciation and attachment for this book and the characters upon a reread.
