What reading level is Louise Imogen Guiney book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The war of the Vendee, with its religious appeal, its romance of feudal catchwords, took irresistible hold on her, and the young Count of La Rocheja- quelein, blazoned in youthful ardor, shone as the sun. In thus regilding a futile struggle she strives, by discarding political minutiae, to "romanticize such dry facts as we mean shall live." "A background," she concludes, "may be blurred for the sake of a single figure. I tried, therefore, to paint a portrait, willing to abide by the hard saying... of Northcote : 'If a portrait have force, it will do for his- tory.' " Nor could she have resisted him of whom history says, as he mounted and rode away to his feat of arms : 77 "Then first came the eagle look into his eyes which never left them after." To Louise Guiney, born to the love of good fighters, the eagle look of courage and consecration was as thrilling as, to the soldier himself, the call to arms, and the little "foot- note to French history" is written on such a sustained level of affectionate enthusiasm that it strikes you, despite its theme of blood and loss, as almost a gay little book.
