'Happy families are all alike: every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' Tolstoy's great novel begins with these words and the family we meet first - that of Stiva Oblonsky - is apparently of the second kind. But Stiva's sisterÃ Anna is travelling from St Petersburg to Moscow, so the unhappiness may be only temporary.
