# The Anna Karenina Fix by Viv Groskop (Paperback)

**'A passionate, hilarious, joyful love letter to Russian literature' _Allison Pearson, Sunday Telegraph_**  
  
**'A delightful primer and companion to all the authors you are ashamed to admit you haven't read' _The Times_**  
  
Viv Groskop has discovered the meaning of life in Russian literature. As she knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened in life has already happened in these novels: from not being sure what to do with your life (_Anna Karenina_) to being in love with someone who doesn't love you back enough (_A Month in the Country_ by Turgenev) or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work). This is a literary self-help memoir, with examples from the author's own life that reflect the lessons of literature, only in a much less poetic way than Tolstoy probably intended, and with an emphasis on being excessively paranoid about having an emerging moustache on your upper lip, just like Natasha in _War and Peace_.
