by Leo Tolstoy
19—' Pierre and Natasha at home '
A serial reading by Eric Gillett
After the tremendous action and storm and stress of war and peace, Tolstoy moves towards a calm and quiet ending. Pierre and Natasha are happily married, and we see them with their children. Natasha's brother, Nicholas, has married Prince Andrew's sister, Marya, and Prince Andrew's son, by his first marriage, is now a lad of fifteen, with an unbounded admiration for his uncle Pierre.
