Review Quotes: "I finally finished Anna Karenina recently, in a translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. I think I can say without controversy that it's a great book." --Sally Rooney, The New York Times Book Review
"This line from Anna Karenina is mentioned often, because it might be the best one: 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' Leo Tolstoy dropped the mic in 1878." --Min Jin Lee, Elle "The most accessible of the big classic Russian novels . . . Come for the tragic romance, stay for the deep dive into God and human nature. . . . Its closing chapters [contain] one of the most powerful meditations on family, altruism, and faith. . . . A penetrating study of despair." --Los Angeles Times, "101 Best Book Club Picks for Every Type of Reader"
