Mother Countess Mariya Tolstaya 
Father fourth of five children.
Wife Sofia Andreyevna Behrs, thirteen children, eight survived into adulthood.

                          

Sofia Behrs kept a detailed diary until Tolstoy's death in 1910, 
a testament to a woman of tremendous vital energy and poetic sensibility who, in the face of provocation and suffering, continued to strive for the higher things in life and to remain indomitable.

The diary is the life of an exceptional woman, married to one of the most exceptional and difficult men of the time, with all her difficulties laid bare. This is a book that is interesting for what it says about the predicament of women in the past, and how that compares to their present circumstances." - The Sunday Times.
