What reading level is After the Fire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But by ten o’clock Betsy had left Fire’s Reach Court and was walking briskly towards Covent Garden. Emerging from Russell Street into the piazza, she turned right along a row of shops, above which hung a series of brightly painted signs: a white hand denoting a glover, a stag for a breeches-maker, a civet cat for a perfumer. But the one she sought bore no sign: only a little gold bell over the doorway, that tinkled in the wind. In a moment she had passed through the entrance into a windowless in...terior, lit by a couple of small lanterns.
Shimon Lopez had been a part of Covent Garden for almost a decade. Earlier – almost twenty years back – Oliver Cromwell had invited the sage Menasseh ben Israel to lay the foundations of a new Jewish community here. After King Charles’s restoration, others – refugees from the Dutch provinces, who had aided him in his exile – were made welcome in their turn. Some were now wealthy men, merchants and importers. But Lopez had never sought advancement beyond the modest premises he had obtained, and from where he still sold the curious assortment of goods for which he was noted.
