I'm 90% of the way through Anna Karenina, but having to take a break to read a book for my book club. That book is Evenings and Weekends by Oisín McKenna. I'm enjoying it so far; a nice slice of life involving a group of friends/roommates/lovers living in London. It has some quite poetic commentary on queerness, communication across different generations and living in a city. And it has its funny moments :)
Oh Anna Karenina was one my favorite books when I was a teenager. I especially loved the descriptions of loneliness and dispair were something I could recognize myself in.
He does get to the depths of the human condition so well and describe it in such a relatable way. I'm sorry to hear you felt that way at the time though. Hope you're doing alright now
Thanks for the good wishes. Yes I am better now having exited an abusive childhood. Being an independent adult has been a blessing to me♥️
