What reading level is Paris Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When they were sure that the young people two benches forward could not understand them, the old people went on with a permanent, flowing quarrel. The man had the habit of reading signs out loud, though perhaps he did it only to madden his wife. He read the signs over the three doors leading out to the field: “ ‘Oslo.’ ‘Amsterdam.’ ‘Copenhagen.’… I don’t see ‘Stockholm.’ ”
She replied, “What I wonder is what I have been to you all these years.”
Philippe Perrigny, who understood English, turned a...round, pretending he was looking at Finnish pottery in the showcases on their right. He saw that the man was examining timetables and tickets, all the while muttering “Stockholm, Stockholm,” while the woman looked away. She had removed her glasses and was wiping her eyes. How did she arrive at that question here, in the Helsinki airport, and how can he answer? It has to be answered in a word: every thing/nothing. It was like being in a country church and suddenly hearing the peasant priest put a question no one cares to consider, about guilt or duty or the presence of God, and breathing with relief when he has got past that and on to the prayers.
