What reading level is Hortense book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
--Hostilityof the Allies. --Driven into exile. --Takes refuge at Aix. --Separation ofthe princes. --Continued persecutions. --Hospitality of theSwiss. --Anguish of Hortense. --Retires to the Lake of Constance. --PrinceEugene. --Testimony of Lady Blessington.
There probably never was a more tender, loving mother than Josephine. And it is not possible that any children could be more intensely devotedto a parent than were Eugene and Hortense to their mother. The grief ofthese bereaved children was... heart-rending. Poor Hortense was led fromthe grave almost delirious with woe. Etiquette required that Eugene, passing through Paris, should pay his respects to Louis XVIII. The kinghad remarkable tact in paying compliments. Eugene announced himselfsimply as General Beauharnais. He thanked the king for the kindtreatment extended by the allied monarchs to his mother and his sister. Hortense was also bound, by the laws of courtesy, to call upon the kingin expression of gratitude. They were both received with so muchcordiality as to expose the king to the accusation of having become arank Bonapartist.
