What reading level is Opened Ground book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pump water. Winter-evening cold.
Our backs might never warm up but our faces Burned from the hearth-blaze and the hot whiskeys.
It felt remembered even then, an old Rightness half-imagined or foretold, As green sticks hissed and spat into the ashes And whatever rampaged out there couldn’t reach us, Firelit, shuttered, slated and stone-walled.
Year after year, our game of Scrabble: love Taken for granted like any other word That was chanced on and allowed within the rules.
So ‘scr...abble’ let it be. Intransitive.
Meaning to scratch or rake at something hard.
Which is what he hears. Our scraping, clinking tools.
II The Cot Scythe and axe and hedge-clippers, the shriek Of the gate the children used to swing on, Poker, scuttle, tongs, a gravel rake – The old activity starts up again But starts up differently. We’re on our own Years later in the same locus amoenus, Tenants no longer, but in full possession Of an emptied house and whatever keeps between us.
