What reading level is Shadows & Lies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Emang was only one of several native children who had been brought in to the convent hospital with fever and dysentery. Several of them were very ill indeed, but she was the sickest of all. Sister Mary Columba and I took it in turns to sponge down the child’s hot little body, while Mrs Mahelebe squatted by the end of her daughter’s bed in dumb misery.
We had been thankful of the rain at first: at least it would cool the air and perhaps help us to get the fretful children’s temperatures down a li...ttle. We went on doing what was necessary as the storm crashed over our heads, but we began to exchange worried glances as the rain grew into an absolute deluge and then came down in a positive cataract. An unheard-of panic seemed to be gripping the normally hushed and disciplined convent. Outside the wards, orderlies ran about like scalded cats, and as the afternoon wore on, brought news to us of the havoc wreaked by the storm: the hospital kitchen was under six feet of water; the dinner was spoiled; and the sisters’ bombproof had been washed away, while the covered trenches in the women’s laager were now nothing less than a subterranean canal.
