What reading level is The Penitent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was very hot; the summer insects sang of noon.
110 THE PENITENT Then a voice pleaded : "I'm hungry, Papa, I'm hungry ! " Could he have forgotten the companions of his exile ?
He stopped short, as if taken by surprise, and gazed — vaguely at first — at his eldest child, walking behind him close to the left wheel of the little cart, the wheel that grated at every turn.
She had walked until she could walk no longer; and now, one leg bent double and aching with weariness, she was standing on one... foot Uke a sleeping bird.
Her eyes were full of dismay at the strange road and the things she had been wondering over, and stiU wet with the tears Louarn had not noticed.
A round cap of black stufE^studded with half-a-dozen gold spangles, such as many Breton children wear, fitted tightly on the child's head, showing only a narrow fringe of light chestnut-coloured hair which would darken towards her tweKth year.
At this moment Noemi wore the sorrowful look that robs a child's face of its childlike character, and seems to give it a life's ex- THE JOURNEY 111 perience.
