What reading level is A Winter's Child book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, throughout the ages, one woman had always helped another in childbirth with no greater skills than the example her own body had taught her, and enough instinct remained for Claire to get Nola to bed, to prop up her legs, to calm her with false reassurances ‘It’s going to be all right. Yes – yes – of course I know what to do, and, so far as possible, to keep her warm, and clean.
Blood in itself did not trouble her. Men’s blood, that is. But this blood, containing the particles of an unbo...rn life, was different. Very different. So far removed, in fact, from her previous experience that she felt compelled to treat it with tenderness, to remove each gore-soaked towel with care, to fold it gently instead of bundling it hurriedly away.
She had seen so many men in pain that even her compassion, at certain times, had blunted. Female agony was new to her and because it was this agony, this deliberate turning of birth into death, it entered her own body, the muscles of her own abdomen contracting with Nola’s, her own womb forced open, straining and labouring to deliver these gouts of blood which had been – which were – a human child.
