Volume 2: Book 9 - Chapter 17

Characters Present:

Natasha Rostova

Count Pierre Bezukhov
Agraféna Ivánovna Belóva


Location: 

The Rostóv home

Natasha's spirits are still a bit low, but recover sligthly when she spends time with Pierre. She doesn't feel that she could fall in love with him though, as he is a married man.

Agraféna Ivánovna Belóva, a country neighbour of the Rostóvs, suggests that Natasha starts to fast and prepare for holy communion, in the lead up to the end of the fast of St Peter.

Natasha attends church and so on, and feels her spirits begin to shift for the better.
