What reading level is Burning Your Boats: the Collected Short Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A while after that, his wife died and was buried under two sticks nailed together to make a cross because there was no time, yet, to carve a stone.
Did she die of the loneliness of the prairies? Or was it anguish that killed her, anguish, and nostalgia for the close, warm, neighbourly life she had left behind her when she came to this emptiness? Neither. She died of the pressure of that vast sky, that weighed down upon her and crushed her lungs until she could not breathe any more, as if the... prairies were the bedrock of an ocean in which she drowned.
She told her boy: “Look after your sister.” He, blond, solemn, little; he and Death sat with her in the room of logs her husband split to build. Death, with high cheek-bones, wore his hair in braids. His invisible presence in the cabin mocked the existence of the cabin. The round-eyed boy clutched his mother’s dry hand. The girl was younger.
Then the mother lay with the prairies and all that careless sky upon her breast, and the children lived in their father’s house.
