What reading level is Cold Pastoral book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
New-foundland was still a separate country when Cold Pastoral, Duley’s second novel, was published in Britain in 1939. Both her first novels were written and published in the aftermath of the First World War and prior to the Second, and like many Newfoundlanders, the Duley family was deeply affected by World War I during which the island lost a generation of young men. Margaret’s younger brother Lionel was killed at Ypres less than two weeks before the armistice, and her older brother Cyril seve...rely injured at Les Boeufs, the Somme, in 1916. Duley’s decision, then, to write a romantic, coming-of-age story about peace and beauty can be seen as an attempt to mitigate the horrors and ugliness of war.
Decades after the publication of Cold Pastoral, Canadian novelist Margaret Laurence famously advised aspiring fiction writers to write about what they knew, and Margaret Duley wrote about what she knew, both from her own family’s experience of war-time tragedy and from situations and stories she had heard from across the island.
