What reading level is The Golden Chain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was probable, he decided.
When the short sendee was over and the priest and his small acolyte had left the chancel, the figures, grown shadowy in the gathering twilight, rose from the floor and the benches and went shuf- fling out. But Felicia crossed over to the altar of Mary. Josefina had preceded her and the two knelt there, side by side. Felicia had put a shawl over her own head, but a grey one, not black like 45 THE GOLDEN CHAIN those of all the Mexican women. He could see her face from... under it, white in the gloom, and upturned. The little Mexican's head was dropped.
As he stood in the aisle and waited he looked at the statue of the Virgin. It was much like many another that he had seen, but around its neck hung a golden chain, thick as a small rope, and with pendent ornaments of gold, or of brass, as he supposed it, since the com- bined wealth of the devout of Tierra Blanca would hardly have sufficed for the purchasing of the finer metal.
The chain was of gold, nevertheless, and it was the votive offering of a se- nora whose husband had found riches in the ground not far from the town.
