What reading level is The Lives And Times of Bernardo Brown book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This painstaking description of a former self grew night by night from the hotel terrace like some lusty shrub forcing up the paving slab laid over its roots.
‘This wasn’t a hotel then,’ he said. ‘Fifty years ago it was the villa of—well, a poor widow I suppose one might call her.’ It was difficult to imagine Bernardo Brown in the nineteen twenties. So little evidence was left beyond laughter in the eyes. His body must always have been strong and stocky; now it had become a bit roly-poly, but th...en it would have bounced upright when it hit the ground. Features, precise and clean-cut, could not be resurrected; to prophesy how a young face will change is far easier than to guess what an old face once was. Subtraction helped. Take away the bags under the eyes, the spaniel jowls under the cheeks, and it was possible to see the deep hollows where a few white bristles escaped the razor as fine lines on a pale tan which had soon deepened to mahogany and at last reverted to the present sandiness of colour and texture.
