What reading level is Lives of the Saints book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were dressed in our best Sunday clothes, my grandfather’s war medals pinned in an even row to the breast pocket of his jacket. The streets were filled already with small crowds of men talking and joking in front of doorways and families hurrying up towards the church. Some former villagers had arrived from Rome and Naples, their Cinque- and Seicentos parked beyond the village on the path that led up to the high road.
‘Oh, lu podesta!’ one of them called out when my grandfather passed.
But the...n someone nearby whispered in his ear and he fell silent, and I knew he’d been told that my grandfather had resigned his position as mayor.
It had happened the night before, at the festival’s official opening. The official opening had no entertainment or spectacle attached to it, but most of the villagers attended—not for the hour or so of speeches with which the various committee members opened the proceedings, but for the final tally of la questua, when the villagers learned whether anyone in the village had shamed them by giving an outrageously large sum, or they themselves had called envy upon their household by giving more than their neighbours.
