Story

If you look for perfection, you will never be content.

This was part of my journey to start reading heavier novels. At the time I didn't know what heavier meant. It's not only page count but the book itself. Leo Tolstoy is undoubtedly one of the greatest writers of all time. This book made me feel emotions like nothing else. Not to spoil anything but at some point of the book , I was so into it I had my hands on my head I was drowning in the book , and the emotions, it's unexplainable. The despair, the pain . It's like I was there , I felt it , the way she felt. This book will make you question yourself. The way you think about life and love and society. How things that you love can destroy you. How your beliefs change . How a small thing can have a big impact in your life. This book had everything. I know this is not a book everyone will like or be able to enjoy. But I think it's definitely worth a try.
