there's quite a lot of French in at least some parts of the book.I think/hope we would manage to find one another if some are reading versions with more or fewer chapters but I have based the readalong on the versions with 361 chapters. some editions (including the free download on Project Gutenburg) have a different chapter structure.

There's also a pretty comprehensive guide here including samples from some of the best-known translations: ///1/whats-the-best-translation-of-war-and-peace-by-tolstoy/ The blog post above contains some commentary of the different tranlsations that are available and their merits.

The main complication seems to be which edition to choose. This is a really helpful blog post by someone who has done the challenge: ///onecatholiclife/announcing-the-2020-war-and-peace-chapter-a-day-read-along There is more life between its cover than in any other existent fictional narrative'
