What reading level is Distant Relations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We know what happened: the children did not even look at the old man, as the children of long ago had not looked at the lonely boy who watched them from behind the beveled windowpanes of the house on the Avenue Vélasquez.
He wished, as it sometimes happens in stories, that the children would gather round him while he told them tales of a time that everyone, with little justification, called the most beautiful and sweet, la Belle Epoque, la douceur de vivre. Instead, Branly leaves his park bench ...and walks slowly toward the Boulevard de Courcelles. As his eyes seek Myrtho’s balcony, he concedes that the children are right to have forgotten him as well as the atrocious war of the dead and the cruel life of the living.
“Poor Myrtho; she so wanted to save herself from the poverty and sickness that devastated her mother. Before she died, I saw her once, ravaged and tubercular. Was that the sweetness of life?”
He says that, more than anything, it is the memory of those days that stirs him that evening—once the voices of Victor and André are stilled, and the woods of the Clos des Renards, as night falls, begin to look like the sea—to get up out of bed and test his strength.
