What reading level is Home Scenes And Heart Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
earth and water had left unscathed ; wreathing its serpent- like folds in and out the ruins, forming strange and terribly- beautiful shapes of glowing colouring; fascinating the eye with admiration, yet bidding the blood chill and the flesh creep. Fresh cries and shouts had marked its rise and progress ; but, aghast and stupified, those who yet survived made no effort to check its way, and on every side it spread, forming lanes and squares of glowing red, flinging its lurid, glare so vividly ar...ound, that even those on the distant heights could see to read by it; and fearful was the scene that awful light revealed. Now, for the first time, could Alvar trace the full extent of destruction which had befallen. That glorious city, which a few brief hours previous lay reposing in its gorgeous sunlight — mighty in its palaces and towers — in its churches, convents, theatres, maga- zines, and dwellings — rich in its numberless artizans and stores — lay perished and prostrate as the grim spectre of long ages past, save that the fearful groups yet passing to and fro, or huddled in kneeling and standing masses, some bathed in the red glare of the increasing fires, others black and shapeless — save when a sudden flame flashed on them, disclosing what they were — revealed a strange and horrible present, yet lingering amid what seemed the shadows of a fearful past.
