What reading level is The Fortunate Prisoner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How far above his own puny schemes was all this, how alien from his own modes of thought and feeling I He would have cared nothing for the world's opinion, he said, and yet, in truth, he had never cared so much. He watched the disappearing steamer, and it seemed to him as though the years of his finer man- hood were carried away in some phantom ship, to leave him old and broken and decrepit. What story could he carry to Jesse now? What had he to offer her in this hour of her tribulation? Could ...he tell her that he had gone to the Castle for her sake, humiliated himself at her nod? Candor, defying him, laughed at the fabrication and whispered a truer word in his ear. Candor also bade him look seaward once more, and ask himself what ship it was which now made for the harbor, and would put its passengers ashore before half an hour had passed. This was no boat from Canning's yacht surely nay, it was a little lugger whose shape was as well known to Japhon Fearney as that of his own lugger. "Holly Angus' boat, " he said, and saying it he began to shiver as a man with an ague.
