“There's so much going on in Andrei [Bolkonsky]. He's wrangling with these big existential conundrums, and he tries out different routes to fulfillment. He tries falling in love, that doesn't work.

He's really inquisitive.” TryingDoeDifferentWarBigsFallMilitaryQuietGloryFalling In LoveActiveFulfillmentFarmersExistentialRoutesInquisitiveQuiet LifeConundrumsWrangling Author:James Norton
