What reading level is Tales for a Stormy Night book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mary Philips, was the estranged wife of Clement Philips of this city who is now being sought by the police for questioning…”
Nancy Fox reread the sentence. It was from the Rockland, Minnesota Gazette, reporting the latest of three murders to occur in the city within a month. “Estranged wife” was the phrase that gave her pause. Common newspaper parlance it might be, but for her it held a special meaning: for all its commonplaceness, it most often signals the tragic story of a woman suddenly alone...—a story that she, Nancy Fox, could tell. Oh, how very well she could tell it!—being now an estranged wife herself.
How, she wondered, had Mary Philips taken her estrangement from a husband she probably once adored? Did he drink? Gamble? Was he unfaithful? Reason enough—any one of them—for some women. Or was it a cruelty surprised in him that had started the falling away of love, piece by piece, like the petals from a wasting flower?
Had the making of the final decision consumed Mary Philips’s every thought for months and had the moment of telling it been too terrible to remember?
