What reading level is A Place I've Never Been book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Beyond the trio of little girls playing jacks, beyond the edge of the park and the crumbling cobbled houses, beyond the fattorie and the villas and the half-collapsed town wall, a glorious vista of hills rises, hills Celia can still not quite believe she is sitting in the midst of, hills which belong in the backgrounds of fifteenth-century paintings—dry yet supple, their greenness occasionally broken by rock, just beginning to burn under the late-spring sun. Christ might be kneeling for baptism ...in those hills, his waist wrapped in a sodden cloth; or the Virgin, in an open stone house, might be poised over her spinning wheel, awaiting the angel’s visitation.
Celia is looking at her hands. They are city hands, more used to typing or sealing envelopes than they are to pulling tiny clams from their shells, or picking sprigs of wild thyme from fields at the sides of roads, or raking the uneven landscape of Seth’s chest—Seth, the man who has brought her here, the man who, she is tempted to say (though she resists saying it), has saved her from all that.
