What reading level is When We Were the Kennedys book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hiding DAD'S SOLEMN REQUIEM HIGH MASS has vanished, utterly, from my memory. I don’t know where it went. Did I banish it myself, my nine-year-old mind deciding on the instant to evict the sight of my father’s casket being ferried down the aisle of St. Theresa’s? Or did it vanish eleven years later, after Mum’s cancer death—her Mass replacing Dad’s for all time, his incense and psalms replaced by her incense and psalms, her bells, her readings, her celebrant—Father Bob, again, his tears dripping ...down on her draped casket.
What does remain of Dad’s funeral, vivid and urgent, is the afterwards: our kitchen filling once again with people. Dad’s people, that is, the ones from Prince Edward Island—PEI, that rolling, sea-bound homeland of red earth, a place thick with lilacs and lore and Irish roots so deep Dad still said daycent for “decent” and byes for “boys” and a-tall for “at all.” He’d colored our bedtime stories with characters from that place, Jack and Paddy and a cast of supporting players whose names over time had become, like characters out of Dickens, a family shorthand for warnings, exemplars, qualities of habit.
