What reading level is The Hours of the Virgin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I had spoken to her for maybe five minutes when I was twenty-five. She had been about fifty then and had to be knocking on seventy now, not that you could place her age by looking at her. There wasn’t a crease in the plump face, moist from the heat of a stove, and the shine in her eyes was not the soft luminescence of old age but the new-penny glitter of childhood.
The jolt jump-started my own memory. I could almost see the blue spark arcing from hers. “Mrs. Spurling,” I said. “Mesta.”
“Nesta,” ...she corrected. “Mrs. Clark, now. Well, the widow Clark. I married Mr. Clark in eighty-three. Buried him last year. Mr. Cooper, wasn’t it?”
“Close. Amos Walker.”
“That’s it. I’d of had it in a minute. Things that happened, folks I met when I was ten, I see all that like I’m looking at a picture. I can’t tell you what I had for supper last night.”
“It’s not last night I want to talk about. May I come in?”
She thought about it. She had a checkered dishtowel in her hands and the muscles in her forearms jumped as she kneaded it.
