What reading level is Picked-Up Pieces book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the tall young State Department man said to me. We were speaking of Russia in the 1930’s; we had just turned from the tomb of Stalin’s wife, a square stone column the height of a woman, capped by a sculptured female head with something touchingly vivid about the nape of the marble neck. Along tight paths we walked among the heavy tombstones of generals, scientists, commissars, engineers. Many bore inset photographs of the departed; a miniature iron tank adorned the tomb of a tank commander famou...s in World War II. A ballerina’s slippers had been carved on a stone block as if casually set there, creased and warm from use. It was a sunny October Sunday years before Svetlana’s memoirs had clarified the mysterious death of her mother; my escort had been describing to me the rumors of poisoning, of murderous Kremlin concubinage, of intricate betrayals.
“Even more than usual,” I agreed, and tried to picture men and women rearing children, honoring parents, and seeking each other’s love in a decade like a low-ceilinged subway tunnel where the lights are flickering off and the air is suffocatingly stale.
