War And Peace Volume III, Part I

Last night I could not stop reading and end up staying up to nearly 03 a:m. But poor Andrey and poor Natasha. She waited for a whole year for him and ended up falling to Anatole's evil plans (aided by Héléne and Dolokhov) Thank God that Sonya was careful and attentive enough to prevent their escape and Natasha and her family were saved from further ruin. She is so young and mistook sexual attraction for love and with the after effects of the cold reception at the Bolkonsky household (while Prince Andrey was still on the way to Moscow) Natasha fell for Anatole's physical charms and broke her engagement with Andrey.

Andrey was heartbroken and returned all her letters and her portrait. Meanwhile she found out that Anatole was already married from Pierre (who by the way is head over heels in love with Natasha).

She attempted suicide but got scared and fell terribly ill only now recuparating with the aid of praying to God.

Napoleon started an invasion to Russia and Prince Andrey is now in the army (also looking for Anatole and when he finds him he fully intends to challenge him to a duel).
