What reading level is Tropic Days book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Over her inheritance, the cruellest which fortune could bestow, she was shudderingly horrified. Not all the longings of an untainted mind could make her skin less tawny. Its stain was too deep to be blanched by the most fervent of prayers. Her outlook on life, her intensest wishes, were those of a white girl of more than decent perceptions of actual refinement, for they tended to the avoidance of everything un- pleasant and unsightly. In other respects, too, she was an absolute variant from the... type, for her sensitiveness to the pain of others and of the lower animals amounted almost to a mania; for though she had a girlish horror of blood, her eagerness to solace sufferings made her so courageous that she became most apt and prompt in the administration of first aid. Her big, startled eyes showed the sincerity of her feelings, while her firm, slender fingers deftly applied bandages as she spoke in soothing tones. The soul of a white damsel was in habitation of the body of one whose parents had been black and utterly degraded.
