Polish Outlander

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Myy pick for the week is:

Coming June 2010

As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls. Their passions alone would be enough to consume them—but when a secret cabal of radical scientific revolutionaries launches an attack on Russian high society’s high-tech lifestyle, our heroes must fight back with all their courage, all their gadgets, and all the power of a sleek new cyborg model like nothing the world has ever seen. Filled with the same blend of romance, drama, and fantasy that made the first two Quirk Classics New York Times best sellers, Android Karenina brings this celebrated series into the exciting world of science fiction.

Ok, so I never finished reading Anna Karenina. In fact, my bookmark is still in the book. This was back in high school, which makes it about 10 years ago. Also, I didn’t like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I just couldn’t get into it. But, I am willing to give this a shot since it is veering away from the zombie or vampire norm that is going on with all these classics.
