What reading level is Home Truths book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their grandmother was scrupulous about food, particularly for these underfed children, and made them drink goat’s milk. Two goats bought specially to supply the orphans were taken by station wagon to a buck fifty miles away, the girls accompanying them for reasons of enlightenment. A man in a filling station was frightened by the goats, because of their oblong eyes. The girls were not reflected in the goats’ eyes, as they were in each other’s. What they remembered afterwards of their grandmother... was goat’s milk, goat eyes, and the frightened man.
They went to school in Ontario now, with children who did not have the same accent as children in Montreal. When their new friends liked something they said it was smart. A basketball game was smart, so was a movie: it did not mean elegant, it just meant all right. Ice cream made out of goat’s milk was not smart: it tasted of hair.
Their grandmother died when the girls were seven and eleven and beginning to speak in the Ontario way. Their mother had been French-Canadian – they were now told – but had spoken French and English to them.
