Having watched the original BBC drama dvd I wanted to read the book to see how accurate it was. I am currently 450 pages through and am not disappointed. I think it may help that I know the story already but I still find it a compelling read. My only criticism is having to look elsewhere in the book for the English translation of long passages in French. Thankfully there are not many of these and I have decided to finish the book and then look up the translations later.

Thoroughly enjoying reading War and Peace during lock down. Beautifully written. History, romance, war, peace and intrigue are all displayed on this compelling story. Only reading twenty pages a day to pace myself which will take eight weeks as it comprises of over twelve hundred pages. The Russian surnames take some getting into but well worth the effort.

Don't be put off by the length of this great novel, it is superbly written and very hard to put down.
