Since 1878, who has matched or bested Tolstoy with the best first sentences in novels?
Anna Karenina (translated) → “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”
Gabriel García Márquez’s first sentence in Cien años de soledad makes my list too.
What makes yours?

Have you seen “Phantom Thread”?
When I saw it I thought of this Tolstoy quote. And now reading it again I realize I remembered it backwards.
