What reading level is My Mother's Body book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1.
My old cat lives under a chair.
Her long fur conceals the sharp jut of her fleshless bones.
Her eyes are dimmed by clouds of cataract, only visible if you remember their willow green as I could judge my mother’s by calling up that fierce charred brown gaze, smiting, searching.
When one of the young cats approaches she growls in anger harmless as distant thunder. They steal her food.
They do not act from malice.
They would curl up with her and wash.
She hisses fear. Her lifelong companion died.... They appeared.
Surely the young bear the blame for all the changes that menace in the fog of grey shapes looming.
Her senses that like new snow had registered the brush strokes of tracks, the fall of a pine needle, the alighting of a chickadee; her senses that had opened greedy as the uncurling petals of a sea anemone that drinks the world’s news from the current; that tantalized her with message of vole and shrew and rabbit, boasting homage her lovers sprayed, have failed her like an old hanging bridge that decays letting her drop through in terror to the cold swift river beneath.
