I loved this, I have never read the book but have decided to give it a go. There appears to be a number of translations available, could any of you who have read the book recommend a good one?

It didn't hold our attention but we have decided to watch it again to see if it was just Sunday lethargy!

We have both programmes recorded.
Does anyone think it's worth buying the book (W&P) ? I read it years ago, can't remember much about it except that I skipped a lot about the war.

We watched Endeavour too. Found it a bit slow sad to say.
W&P doesn't interest me.

A good solid BBC production, but I have a question for knowledgeable Gransnetters.

Is it the anatomists or the costumiers who decree that women in costume dramas can survive in so many fewer layers of clothing than men, even in huge draughty palaces in Russia?
