anna, karenin and vronsky on a russian caravan

This featured tea and a book selection has been made super-simple by the fact that The Republic of Tea has a special Anna Karenina Russian Rose Caravan coming out along with the latest film version of the famed Tolstoy novel.  The movie stars Keira Knightly, Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the main leads, and the screenplay adaptation is by Tom Stoppard, which should be quite interesting.  But beyond the movie is the very long book known as Anna Karenina, which probably should be read at least once in a lifetime, perhaps even during the upcoming holidays when contemplating one's own family gathering and taking in that classic first line:

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
