What reading level is Stempenyu: a Jewish Romance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We left her standing at the door, on the morning after the wedding, gazing dreamily at the scene before her—the market square of Tasapevka—the shops, the booths, and the wagon drawn by oxen, and the peasant boy in the large hat.
That was the life she was leading when, for the first time, she heard the wonderful sounds that came forth from Stempenyu’s fiddle.
She was passionately fond of music, and she had always wanted to hear a good musician, and to know him personally, if possible. When she he...ard anyone playing or singing, she tried to repeat the melody afterwards in her low, sweet voice. Her parents used to say of her that it was a great pity she was born a woman. She had a man’s talents in a woman’s body. If she were a man she would have set the world on fire.
It seemed that her parents did not understand that Rochalle had within her a certain power—a certain something which we, in our day, call by the name of Talent. But to them, her parents, it seemed that Rochalle’s power of picking up a melody, and afterwards repeating it accurately—this power, they thought, lay in her brain, and not in her quick ear.
