What reading level is By the Ionian Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As our talk proceeded the gardener gave me a little light on hisown history; formerly he was valet to a gentleman of Cotrone, with whomhe had travelled far and wide over Europe; yes, even to London, ofwhich he spoke with expressively wide eyes, and equally expressiveshaking of the head. That any one should journey from Calabria toEngland seemed to him intelligible enough; but he marvelled that I hadthought it worth while to come from England to Calabria. Very rarelyindeed could he show his gard...en to one from a far-off country; no, theplace was too poor, accommodation too rough; there needed a certaincourage, and he laughed, again shaking his head.
The ordinary graves were marked with a small wooden cross; where ahead-stone had been raised, it generally presented a skull and crossedbones. Round the enclosure stood a number of mortuary chapels, gloomyand ugly. An exception to this dull magnificence in death was a marbleslab, newly set against the wall, in memory of a Lucifero--one of thatfamily, still eminent, to which belonged the sacrilegious bishop.
