“Only Anna felt sad. She knew that when Dolly was gone no one would call up in her soul the feelings which had been aroused by their meeting. To have those feelings awakened was painful, but still she knew that they were the best part of her soul, and that that part of her was rapidly being choked by the life she was leading”

THIS is what I’m here for!

ok if i can be honest for a sec this book is taking me so long to read because it gets SO good for a bit and you're sitting there gripped, turning pages, and then suddenly tolstoy's just going on about the russian countryside and farming for what feels like an eternity and it's like getting stuck in quicksand

You know what they say... no time like exam time to delve into an 800-page Russian novel!
