What reading level is The Awakening of Helena Richie book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As she stared at that black thingbefore the chancel, her selfishness uncovered itself before her eyesand showed its nakedness.
The solid ground of experience was heaving and staggering under herfeet, and in the midst of the elemental tumult, she had her first dimglimpse of responsibility. It was a blasting glimpse, that sent hercowering back to assertions of her right to her own happiness. Thirteen years ago Lloyd had made those assertions, and she hadaccepted them and built them into a shelter... against the assailingconsciousness that she was an outlaw, pillaging respect and honor fromher community. Until now nothing had ever shaken that shelter. Nor hadits dark walls been pierced by the disturbing light of any heavenlyvision declaring that when personal happiness conflicts with any greathuman ideal, the right to claim such happiness is as nothing comparedto the privilege of resigning it. She had not liked the secrecy whichher shelter involved, no refined temperament likes secrecy. But thebreaking of the law, in itself, had given her no particular concern;behind her excusing platitudes she had always been comfortable enough.
