What reading level is Going Ashore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Paola’s was short and brushed forward in a style Renata’s mother called “Charleston.” Over the Charleston locks she tugged a bathing cap made up of yellow daisies. Renata’s mother said that the sun and the lake water would turn Paola’s lovely head to rust if she didn’t take care now, while she was young. The older woman caressed Paola’s hair – the dry crown and the silk wet fringe that had touched water – and said she wished her own daughter had thick curls and blackberry eyes; but that was poli...te hypocrisy and accepted as such. Renata was the one who was almost engaged. Her father was a corporation lawyer in Milan, and her mother could have provided Renata’s dowry out of her own jewel box, if she had chosen to. Paola was the child of a widow. The father had died not quite two years ago, and there was a faint new difference between the girls, delicately felt, invisible still, like the turning of summer.
Renata could swim without wearing a cap – indeed, she was urged to do so, so that the sun and the water would bleach her hair to the washed-sand color for which her mother had another name: “Scandinavian.”
