What reading level is Not Becoming My Mother book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among her many women friends my favorite, at least when I was small, was her childhood friend Hermine.
She was everything my mother wasn’t. An immensely successful businesswoman, she lived in a fabulous apartment just off Fifth Avenue. Tall, thin and elegant, she dressed gorgeously in handmade clothes that always looked as if they were being worn for the first time. Her shoes always gleamed with polish and her stockings never ran.
As a little girl I considered her sunken living room the utmost i...n sophistication and I’d jump up the stairs, just for the pleasure of going back down, imagining myself sweeping into a room the way Auntie Mame did in the movies. Sometimes I even recited her line “Life’s a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death” as I walked in.
Unlike the messy apartment in which my family lived, Hermine’s place was always serenely immaculate. Her housekeeper, Mildred, ironed the sheets, put clean towels in the bathrooms and made sure that the tables were polished to a luxurious sheen.
