@scottrl I also love Tolstoy - War and Peace is one of my favourite novels by any author from any century. I’d read a variety of Russian authors (some like Dostoevsky I also didn’t like while others like Pushkin and Chekhov I did!) I thought I’d better give War and Peace a try. Im so glad I did. A massive tome I quickly became entranced with and didn’t want it to end. I must read it again. Thank you!!
