What reading level is An Island Apart book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To spare him, for she was certain it was him, the embarrassment of knocking and possibly risking being observed by another guest she rose from her chair and opened the door before he reached the threshold.
‘Ciamera a Tha!’ he greeted her. There was a bashful grin on his flushed face and a smell of whisky on his breath, not strong but evidently he’d felt the need to stiffen his courage before confronting her. Detecting it made her feel obscurely reassured.
‘Ciamera a Tha!’ she responded, ...smilingly indicating a chair she’d already placed between the stove and the table and opposite her own, but before he sat down he produced an unopened half bottle of whisky from his pocket and with eyebrows raised enquiringly held it for her approval.
She nodded perfunctorily. As a child she’d once been coaxed into taking a ‘wee dram’ at New Year ‘to condition her’ as had been explained. She’d hated the smell, the taste and the effect it had had on her and even after she’d reached adulthood, save for a rare medicinal hot dram when she’d been suffering from a heavy cold, she’d taken whisky only on each New Year’s eve when Mrs Ross, whose regular Saturday night ‘tassie’ it had been, had prevailed upon her to share a celebratory drink.
