To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She moved from earnest pleading to enraged demands; she confronted her guards, shouting loud enough for the neighbors to hear; she refused to walk and threatened to stop eating. The majordomo and the guards, surprised by the unthinkable, did not know what to do. They conferred in whispers, went out to make phone calls, and came back even more indecisive. They tried to reassure Maruja with illusory promises, or intimidate her with threats, but they could not break her resolve not to eat. She had ...never felt more self-possessed. It was clear that her guards had instructions not to mistreat her, and she gambled on their needing her alive at any cost. Her calculations were correct: Three days after Beatriz’s release, the door opened very early in the morning and the majordomo came in carrying the radio and the television. “You’ll learn something now,” he said. And in an unemotional voice he announced: “Doña Marina Montoya is dead.” In contrast to what she herself had expected, Maruja heard the news as if she had always known it.
