What reading level is Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions Among the Converted Peoples (Vintage International) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was the kind of thing that some Indian princes did before the war; their money and their titles gave them a kind of exotic dignity, even if India was a colony. It was perhaps in Shahbaz’s father’s mind that the coming independence of India and Pakistan would give an equivalent dignity to a Muslim settler in England. Other Muslims from the subcontinent thought so, too; they distrusted independence for various reasons, and saw residence in England, a land of law, as a way out.
So, though Shah...baz was born in the year after independence, he hadn’t grown up without colonial and racial stress. He had gone to both primary school and public school in England, and he had suffered especially at the public school. He was the only Asian, the only Muslim, the only one who didn’t eat pork and go to the chapel. It didn’t help when his father became insolvent. For three terms Shahbaz’s fees couldn’t be paid, and it seemed at one time that he would be asked to leave. That didn’t happen, but it made Shahbaz feel separated from his friends.
