What reading level is While England Sleeps book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When it was over, the house in Richmond, the house I’d grown up in, had been bombed to rubble. My sister and brother and I spent an afternoon sifting through the blocks of wallpapered plaster and porcelain shards, but we didn’t end up taking anything away. Our ideas of what was worth saving had changed. Those a generation ahead of us, who had grown up under the watchful eye of the elderly Queen Victoria, proved less resilient. They retreated to country houses, those that still stood, heating wha...t rooms they could afford to heat. Or they sought refuge in rivers. Or, like Stephen Tennant, the brightest of the bright young things, in pink furniture, mirrors, maquillage. Became anachronisms. Resistance to change can produce that kind of madness.
Other things persisted: for instance, Scotland Yard’s zealous campaign to entrap homosexuals in public loos. It was just after V-E Day that I had my own unfortunate encounter with one of its plainclothes officers. During the trial I felt obliged to mention his rather tumescent state at the time of arrest; the young bobby stood up in court, red-faced, shouting, “That’s a lie!”
