What reading level is Fortune's Rocks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Olympia wonders what will happen to the refugees. Since they now have no assets with which to negotiate their way in America, many of them are incorporated into the mills at Ely Falls, and what happens to the very young children, such as Anna, she never learns.
Catherine and the children travel on to York. Haskell again takes up residence at the Highland Hotel. For some time, Olympia does not see him, since he works at the clinic in Ely Falls most of the hours of the day, and there is no natural... opportunity for them to meet.
Outwardly, Olympia passes her time in the usual manner. She reads books from a list her father has made up for her. Later she will remember The Valley of Decision, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Scarlet Letter in particular, since they are all works written in one century about another, the purpose of which is an issue her father and she debate at some length (her father taking the position that the social mores of a previous era might better highlight certain moral dilemmas of one’s own time, and Olympia holding to the notion that Edith Wharton or Charles Dickens or Nathaniel Hawthorne might simply have been drawn to the baroque language and richer color of an earlier era).
