Perfect read for the book club, when ladies' proclivity of feeling good peppered with emotion turmoil. I kept in mind of my proletariat upbringing, working class ethics, intellectual enrichment in minimum material means, ideology (that would deprave but not...), lack and envious of aristocrat elegance..., I tried to discount such a fictionalized fairy tale and a grandiloquent personal epic. Nevertheless, I was totally captivated by the humor and wisdom delivered in an utterly artificial setting against the true historical backdrop with fake minutiae I care about deeply. The bottom line is, I identify with the Count (Sasha, Rostov, Alexander, "Your Excellency"). The writer's craft seems intuitive, a non-acquired talent.
