Jenny Lee talked to Nerd Daily about her novel Anna K.
Anna K is a modern-day retelling of one of my favorite books, Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. I wanted to capture the rollercoaster of young love in all its forms but update it for a 2020 audience with an ensemble cast of diverse characters. I think people should include it in their reading list because even if you’ve never been in love (I hadn’t when I first read Anna Karenina), there is something so mesmerizing about the ups and downs of people who will do anything to follow their heart.
