What reading level is A Star of the Salons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For his two rooms he paid a rent of about seventeen pounds, but a large proportion of his time was certainly spent downstairs in the apartments of Mademoiselle de Lespinasse. M. de Segur is of opinion that they even had a common housekeeping fund and took their meals together, and it is in any case certain that they lived on terms of the most affectionate and confidential intimacy, and that when, towards the close of her life, Julie had thoughts of changing house, d'Alembert was to have accompa...nied her as a matter of course. So close an association between a man of forty-seven and a woman of thirty-two would not, of course, be possible in our days without considerable scandal. That it was possible then, and excited no disapproval in such women as Madame Geoffrin and Madame Necker, is another proof that the society of that period, notwithstanding its shameful habit of call- ing evil good and good evil, could sometimes recognise ^ The fact that d'Alembert, as a baby, in comparison with his condition in the purer air of the country, flourished in this unhealthy atmosphere, is a terrible proof of the neglect from which he must have suffered before the good woman of the Rue Michel le Comte took him in hand.
