What reading level is Mary Olivier: a Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mamma had expected her to kneel down and pray. In bed they had turned their backs on each other, and she had the feeling that her mother shrank from her as from somebody unclean who had omitted to wash herself with prayer. She wanted to take her mother in her arms and hold her tight. But she couldn't. She couldn't.
Suddenly her throat began to jerk with a hysterical spasm.
She thought: " I wish I had died instead of Papa." MATURITY 191 She forced back the jerk of her hysteria and lay still, lis...tening to her mother's sad, obstructed breathing and her soft, secret blowing of her nose.
Presently these sounds became a meaningless rhythm and ceased. She was a child, dreaming. She stood on the nursery staircase at Five Elms; the coffin came round the turn and crushed her against the banisters; only this time she was not afraid of it; she made herself wake because of something that would happen next. The flagstones of the passage were hard and cold to her naked feet ; that was how you could tell you were awake.
