What it’s about
Anna's affair with Count Vronsky runs alongside the story of Levin, a landowner looking for meaning in work, faith and family.
It is long but very readable, with short chapters and some of the most vivid scenes in fiction.
- Love and society
- Family
- The search for meaning
“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Why people stop, and how to finish
The length, and Levin's long chapters about farming and politics.
What helps: The chapters are short: three or four a day finishes it in a few months. Levin's chapters reward patience.
At 20 minutes a day you’ll reach the last page in about 74 days.
