Two stories run side by side: a woman who leaves her marriage for love and is shut out by society, and a landowner who searches for a reason to live. Tolstoy renders bodies, rooms, horses and moods with a clarity that hides its own art, and he judges less than his reputation suggests. Few novels hold so much ordinary life.
