In Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, what is the name of Natasha Rostova’s husband?

In Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Natasha Rostova’s husband is Pierre Bezukhov.

Natasha’s relationship with Pierre develops gradually through the novel’s shifting fortunes. As a young woman, she is engaged to Andrei Bolkonsky, but that relationship ends after a failed elopement attempt involving Anatole Kuragin. The novel later brings Natasha and Pierre together after war, bereavement, and personal change have altered both of them.

Their marriage appears in the epilogue, where Tolstoy shows the couple living as a family and describes their domestic life. Pierre’s intellectual searching and Natasha’s movement from youthful spontaneity toward adulthood form one of the novel’s important emotional arcs.

Readers sometimes select Andrei Bolkonsky because he is Natasha’s early fiancé and one of the book’s central figures. He is not her final husband. Pierre’s marriage to Natasha also connects two major families in the novel’s concluding vision of postwar life.
