What reading level is Seekers in Sicily book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not the artists Peripatetica and Jane were looking for, but types fixed and amusing, such as they had never be- fore encountered in such numbers and contrasts. Rosy, bland English curates and their meek little wives; flashy fat Austrians, with powdered ladies of unappe- tizing look ; limp English spinsters of the primmest pro- priety; seedy old men with dyed moustaches and loud clothes, diffusing an aroma of shady gambling-rooms. Scholarly old English professors; and Germans, Ger- mans, Germans... of all varying degrees of fatness, shini- ness, and loud-voicedness, but all united in double- action feeding power of knife and fork.
An expectant hush held them all for a while before empty plates. Then the little purple-gowned maid, and a sister one in ultramarine blue, with the same brilliant yellow hair knotted on top of her head, ap- peared with omelettes. Omelettes of such melting per- fection as to explain the solemn expectancy of the waiting faces.
92 SEEKERS IN SICILY Followed a meal in which every course fish, vege- tables, meat, and salad, in a land where the tourist ex- pects to subsist alone on oranges and scenery was of a deliciousness to have made a Parisian epicure com- pliment the chef of his pet restaurant.
