What reading level is Cleopatra Confesses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The problems I am confronting have tangled roots that reach back years. Most pressing is another poor harvest. The Inundation again fell far below normal and the grain crops failed, as they often have in recent years. Now farmers cannot pay their taxes, people are hungry, and peasants are leaving their lands and streaming into the city, demanding food. This angers the Alexandrians, who blame me for the shortages and the unrest—as though I have the power to command the waters of the Nile to rise ...and the crops to flourish!
There is also the problem of my brother, Ptolemy XIII. In the months after Father’s death, when I first became queen, it was easy to ignore my ten-year-old brother and to rule alone, as I intended. But now, over a year into my reign, Ptolemy has grown increasingly arrogant, and I blame this on his three regents. Though I mistrusted them all along, I underestimated them. Their treachery becomes evident when, in order to quell the growing turmoil in the city, I issue a decree ordering grain in the nomes to be shipped only to Alexandria.
