Description

We’re on vacation until the start of season four, Thursday, February 2nd! Until then, we’re ecstatic to share the shows still living rent-free in our heads. Here’s a favorite from our archives.
This week, Alexis makes Kari read the world's longest book (just kidding), written by a man some consider to be the greatest author of all time (not kidding). The setting is 19th-century Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the countryside. Noblemen and women are eating, drinking, marrying, and living. Among these aristocrats stands one woman who personifies beauty and grace. This woman catches the eye of an equally attractive officer. Driven by an undeniable chemistry, the two start down a path of deception and destruction from which neither may recover. 
 
The officer's name is Alexei Vronsky. 
The woman's name is Anna Karenina, and this is part one of our two-part episode. 
Before diving in, we discuss the usefulness of healthy distractions and learn how to escape in ways that don't destroy us. 
This is LIT Society. 
Let's get LIT! 
 
... Find Alexis and Kari online: Instagram — www.instagram.com/litsocietypod/; Twitter — twitter.com/litsocietypod; Facebook — www.facebook.com/LitSocietyPod/; and our website www.LitSocietyPod.com. Get in on the conversation by using #booksanddrama.
