Read It Again  **Accepting New Members**

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."  So opens  Anna Karenina, Tolstoy's novel written in 1878.  Anna's infidelity sharply contrasts with the marriages of her brother and her young friend, Kitty.   The marriages are presented against a backdrop of Russia undergoing great social change

Join us to discuss the changes taking place in 19th century Russia, to explore the contrasts between urban and country life, and to appreciate the complexity of Anna's character.

We’ll divide the book into five approximately equal sections for discussion at each of our five meetings. Participants will be asked to read the first section before our first meeting, and come prepared each day to contribute to the discussion as well as helping to research and provide background of topics and issues that arise.
