Plot

As 1809 nears its end, Natasha attends her first ball, where Andrei falls in love with her with the intent of marriage. However, as her father demands they wait, the prince travels abroad, leaving Natasha in desperate longing.

Sinekatalog’s take

Natasha's first ball and the arrival of a prince who falls for her fill this chapter of a monumental adaptation. The scale is lavish and the romance restrained. For epic-literature devotees willing to take the long road.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
