Thursday, August 14 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Announcing a group read of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy with Lee Farrow
August 14 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Dr. Lee Farrow has led some of our most popular bookstore events to date. We look forward to hosting her again for an evening of discussion about Anna Karenina, a timeless and beloved classic of the nineteenth century by Leo Tolstoy, a giant of Russian literature. Join us for a talk about Anna Karenina on Thursday, August 14 at 5:30pm. Purchase a copy of the book at the bookstore and dive in. First published in 1878, the book is an engrossing story of love, betrayal, marriage, and family set against the backdrop of Imperial Russian society. When William Faulkner was asked to name his three favorite novels, he replied: “Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina, and Anna Karenina.” Come join us and discover the book’s enduring appeal.
