Anna Karenina by Gemma Barder
3.0
'Anna Karenina (Easy Classics)' adapted by Gemma Barder with illustrations by Helen Panayi is a chapter book based on the classic by Leo Tolstoy.
Anna Karenina has a respected husband and son, but she is bored with her life. Along comes Count Vronsky who shows an interest in Anna. Meanwhile, Natasha likes Count Vronsky and Pierre likes Natasha. Who will it end well for and who will it end tragically for?
It's a good adaptation. I'm not sure the themes of love, divorce and affairs would interest the grade level this is intended for, but it's a great story and the illustrations are quite nice.
