What reading level is Death of a Washington Madame book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gail drove with a heavy foot, fifteen miles above the limit.
Fiona assumed it was her way of letting off steam. She made no comment not wanting to start the inevitable conversation on a note of rebuke. She chose to wait instead until she had time to turn over in her mind Gail's probable responses, all of them emotional and certainly race-based and essentially unarguable.
In her years with the Department Fiona had been through every conceivable scenario concerning the unavoidable issue of race. S...he knew, or thought she knew, all the racial hot buttons, all the hidden sensitivities, conflicts and motives, running the gamut from pride to paranoia. She had accepted the political conditions of the job and determined to remain open, understanding and sympathetic.
In her heart and soul, she was determined to remain color-blind, often invoking the ideas expressed so admirably by Martin Luther King about people being judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Unfortunately, it was an idea currently in disfavor, not because of its obvious and inherent truth, but because of the fact that the black American dream was, for many, still far from the reality.
