What reading level is The Marquise of O And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A year or so previously Don Enrico Asterón, one of the richest noblemen of the city, had turned him out of his house where he had been employed as a tutor, for being on too intimate a footing with Asteró’s only daughter, Doña Josefa. She herself was sternly warned, but owing to the malicious vigilance of her proud brother she was discovered nevertheless in a secret rendezvous with Jerónimo, and this so aroused her old father’s indignation that he forced her to enter the Carmelite convent of Our ...Lady of the Mountain.
A happy chance had enabled her lover to resume the liaison in this very place, and one quiet night the convent garden became the scene of his joy’s consummation. On the day of Corpus Christi, the solemn procession of the nuns, with the novices following them, was just beginning when, as the bells pealed out, the unhappy Josefa collapsed on the cathedral steps in the pangs of childbirth.
This incident caused an extraordinary public stir; without any regard for her condition the young sinner was at once imprisoned, and her confinement was scarcely over when by the Archbishop’s command she was put on trial with the utmost rigour.
