"War and Peace" (1869) is a classic novel by Leo Tolstoy, which is regarded as a central work of world literature and one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements. The novel chronicles the history of the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families.

Worst narration ever
Revisado: 09-14-18
The book is obviously good, but this narration is the absolute worst in the 50+ books I've listened on Audible. The reader does not speak either Russian nor French, and could not bother to learn the pronunciation of even the most famous people's names or common phrases. Why not use the opportunity of an audio book to correctly pronounce the names of a few of the central characters in order to share that with readers? One can find that info on wikipedia. Plus it is a sing-songly strange tone throughout which doesn't fit any of the characters. It's almost un-listenable. Also, after every single chapter they announce the title of the book, the author, and the translator. That breaks up the story and just adds to the jarring and unpleasant narration.

In Jennifer duBois’s mesmerizing and exquisitely rendered debut novel, a long-lost letter links two disparate characters, each searching for meaning against seemingly insurmountable odds. With uncommon perception and wit, duBois explores the power of memory, the depths of human courage, and the endurance of love.

Many inaccuracies about Russia
Revisado: 07-01-16
I'm not sure why one would write a book based in Russia and then get so many basic details wrong. What is the point?
The story is not really there. It's a long set of self-pitying reflections.
As for narration, learn some basic Russian pronunciation. Dacha is da-cha, very easy. It's not some weird da-xha sound.
