It is a simple novel which shows how love can change a person's life in good and bad ways.The novel circles around 3 pairs: married couple Dolly and Obronsky ,Levin and Kitty and Anna and Vronsky.While Levin's and Kitty's love had a happy ending , Anna's and Vronsky's love had a tragic ending.But one can't say it is a pure romantic novel . It also expresses Tolstoy's views on spirituality.Although there were some confusions while reading, I enjoyed the book.
