What reading level is A House-Hunter in Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some early queen conferred upon the damsels of eight of its princi- pal families the right to ennoble whomsoever they should marry. The university used to endow deserving dam- sels with wedding portions. There were women of ex- traordinary intellect and note, like Beatriz Galindo and Luisa de Madrano, who rose to be professors in the uni- versity. The former became the governess of Isabella, patron of Columbus. Plutarch eulogized the women of Salamanca. And that brings me to Hannibal, as it bro...ught Don Eugenio and myself, when we sat on the steps of an old gran- ite cross, without the walls, and looked well at an ancient portal that is called Hannibal's Gate. It seems that in the Second Punic War the city surrendered to Hanni- bal, and its defenders marched out, leaving their arms behind them. But the women concealed weapons under their draperies, and, at a given moment, handed them to the men, to inflict some new damage on the enemy, which they tried — unsuccessfully — to do. I was rather thrilled to have got even so near to Hannibal, for whom I have an unusual admiration, as that crumbly gate.
