What reading level is The Afghan Queen: a True Story of An American Woman in Afghanistan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A lone woman trader really blew their minds. The reality of American dollars, by far, however, outweighed my gender, and the Afghans consistently showed me respect and even admiration.
At first I considered it would help if I named myself Khadija, the first benefactor of Islam and Mohammed’s first wife. Now that I reflect, that would have been ridiculously pretentious. Being Lela has worked just fine.
Initially, I was clearly patronized with suspicion, but as the days and weeks of my first tradi...ng venture passed, I felt real affection develop. The merchants and their families warned about ‘bad men’ merchants, lechers, where to eat, and what to avoid.
During my first trading venture, I bought dozens of beautiful antique wall hangings, tent and camel decorations, rugs, kilems, embroideries, brass and copper-ware, and hundreds of tribal necklaces. More than one bargaining session was usually needed before completing a large purchase.
Buyer and seller matched cup for cup of tea. Bargaining was punctuated by relating our trading experiences.
