Anna Karenina by Gemma Barder

4.0

Another short and easy to read introduction to a classic novel. The illustrations in this easy classics are lovely - the children love to see them, especially with the family tree as it helps identify all the characters. While the overarching theme is love, the novel obviously deals with adultery too. My daughters did not like Anna at all for betraying her husband and son. They did however love Kitty and Constantine. A great read, but with warnings: adultery; illness, and horrific accidental deaths do make this a darker classic.
