What reading level is The Diary of An Idle Woman in Sicily book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And that fragrant line of perfect shore singing to the harmonies of the sea! What tints! What masses of colour! Acres of blue and white lupins, fields of marigolds, rosy sea-pinks clothing the rocks, delicious yellowness of citron and mimosa; fierce-eyed genista peeping out of rocks, brilliant young grass. A carpet fresh from nature's loom, sown with oxalis, bee-orchis, gentian, pimpernel, and moon-daisies, mixed up with the blackness of lava-streams!
On one side of Aci, seven basalt rocks rise... out of the calm blue sea, following each other in a regular irregularity. These are the Scopuli Cyclopum which blinded Polyphemus hurled after Ulysses as he was put- ting off to sea.
The first rock, a short distance from the beach, called Isola d'Aci, is flat and wreathed with a few brown vine leaves, an olive or two, and plants of spurge and fennel. A cave on one side, reached by some steps cut in the rock, is called the Grotto, dei Ciclopi, But this dreary hole does not at all correspond with Homer's cheerful description of Polyphemus' cavern, shrouded by groves and woods.
