What reading level is The Foretelling book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not so much a test for bravery, but a search for a vision of the future. Who would we be in the world of daylight? Who would we be in our dreams?
It happened to me in my fifteenth winter, in the season when we moved our city of tents across the steppes, into caves, when the snow was high. It was the time when the great bear shone in the sky like a torch. I awoke and found blood on my blanket and my leg. My time had come. Before I left to find my vision, my mother called me to her.
I had b...een waiting for this my whole life.
Now she would see I was more than sorrow.
I stood before her, eyes down. She was the most beautiful woman in any land. People spoke of her in faraway places, on the other side of the sea, even in the north storm country.
Look at me, she said.
I did so.
The Queen slapped me hard across my face. Something in my ears started to ring. All mothers slapped their daughters on the day of their first bleeding; they did so to welcome them into the world of womanhood, which brought its own pain for which we must be ready.
