Russia around the time of the february revolution is what I remember hearing, but I could be wrong.
I read War and Peace, and I plan on reading Anna Karenina. War and Peace was terrific, so I don't expect anything less than that out of Anna Karenina which has been called by some the greatest novel ever written. Try it, I'm a guy, and I'm going to.

Though the title is the name of a female character there are many interesting male characters in the novel. Much of the novel is written from a male point of view. If you're interested, read it! Don't worry about whether it's 'OK'.
It's a complicated book, and I am not sure I can just tell you what it's about. Anna Karenina is a woman who leaves her family to have an affair with an army officer. The novel looks at her relationships with her husband and her lover, and compares them with the relationships of other characters. But that's not even close to all that the book is about.
I enjoyed it.

Ive never heard of the novel myself, but you should read what ever you want. Dont worry what other people think about it as long as youre ok with it. Do what you want.
