What reading level is Lilian's Story book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She was an old woman when I was a university student and I often saw her (from the safe distance of a bus) sprawled massively on the church steps at Railway Square in army greatcoat, tennis visor, and split sandshoes.
Like everyone else who grew up in Sydney at that time, I knew a few things about her: that she was from a respectable middle-class family and had gone to one of Sydney’s top schools; that she had briefly gone to university and dropped out under mysterious circumstances; that she ha...d been institutionalised as insane; and that on her release from the asylum had made money by offering recitations from Shakespeare (sixpence for a sonnet, a shilling for a scene from a play). There were enough contradictions in these stories about her that I found intriguing.
I wasn’t interested in writing a biography of Bea Miles, but these few things I knew about her seemed to provide a framework through which I could explore other issues, such as: What was it like to be a clever woman born at a time when women were not even supposed to go to high school, much less university?
