Just sharing another book. Enjoy!

"Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, five aristocratic families in Russia are transformed by the vagaries of life, by war, and by the intersection of their lives with each other. Hundreds of characters populate War and Peace, many of them historical persons, including Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I, and all of them come to life under Tolstoy’s deft hand."

It's on my TBR so I don't have an opinion yet. I do have a physical copy though. Most people think it's a good classic. I'm just sharing books because I think reading is important.

It's free so if you're curious you can read the first few pages and see if it's for you. :)

Just kidding, I do appreciate seeing it here though, thanks for the post!

I haven't ever read it but maybe it's time.
