What reading level is The Wine of Solitude book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A letter she had in her coat pocket, the last letter she’d received from France, was used to identify her from the name on the envelope.
The Karols were informed. She hadn’t suffered, they told Hélène. Her tired heart had stopped beating. She’d had a fit of delirium, presumably because she was homesick … She must have been ill for a long time.
‘You poor thing,’ said Hélène’s mother. ‘She was so attached to you. We would have given her a modest pension and she would have lived a quiet life. Altho...ugh she might have felt very alone, because we’re leaving and we couldn’t have taken her with us. Perhaps it’s for the best.’ However, so many people were dying that no one, not then and not later, had time to waste on consoling Hélène. ‘Poor little thing,’ they said. ‘Just imagine how frightened she must have been. I hope she doesn’t get sick. That’s all we need …’ The day came to an end and Hélène found herself alone in her empty room, surrounded by the dead woman’s personal things: the old photograph of her with her sisters when she was twenty, so faded you could barely see it; her fine hair framed her face like a wisp of smoke; she wore a velvet ribbon round her neck and a belt with a buckle round her slim waist.

The melancholy is thick, rich and intoxicating. The writing is so immersive. It is a novel that I am glad I red but it has left me so sad and dreading my own mortality but with a strange kind of hope and determination to truly live and partake of life.Write Review:
