Sad... There are deaths <spoiler> OF COURSE the wicked woman has to die. Oh those Victorian writers! So if I am interpreting the gossip correctly, Helene was pregnant and the Italian doctor gave her something to cause an abortion and the gossips say that when she was unable to reach Pierre, she took too much medicine and killed herself.</spoiler>

ooh it's good now!

Tolstoy becomes a mathematician and scientist and inserts himself into the novel. War happens in earnest and gets bloody. Skimmed that until I found out what happened to the characters. Helene is even more despicable than ever and does NOT deserve to be absolved from her sins, which means she probably didn't bother to confess her real sins.

Totally did not need to read about Napoleon taking a bath. EW!
What on earth is Pierre doing?
Andrei gets philosophical again.
Skimmed bloody battle and hospital bits. On to Part III tomorrow night.

Denisov returns! After how long? How did he survive the hospital? Where has he been this whole time? I like him and his funny accent.

Nikolai Rostov has grown up and I wish I could say the same about his sister. OF COURSE she feels shame and remorse. Typical of the period but does she really understand what happened?
