Oh my! It took more time than anticipated, but it was worth it.
I can't say that I looove it, it definitely isn't on my favourites list, but I greatly enjoyed the immersive experience. I love the 19th century Russia setting. It made feel so cozy.
I like at the end there is not enough insight into Vronsy's feelings, and Anna is generally not mentioned enough. 🤷♀️ I wanted to know what every character (especially her husband and son) thought of her death and what impact it had on the high society.
Also, what do you think about Anna? Before reading the book (we all now the basic plot, right?) I thought she was kind of a victim, but now I think that she made quite a few poor choices especially towards the end of the book. I get her frustration really well, but why was it that intense?
Few sentences in the paragraph depicting the fall on the train station also didn't have as strong impact as they could. At least on me. 🤷♀️
What are your thoughts? Especially if you have read it recently.
