What reading level is The Hill of Venus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A city rose here once, a marvel indeed, as these ruins tell. For their pleasure men built it, and here they lived and throve. And evil livers were they all, and slaves to the foul fiends, their gods ! " " But how did the city sink into the sea? " asked Violetta.
"That was the work of Messer Saint Paul, " replied the other. " He landed here and preached the Cross of our Saviour, and when men would not heed but spat upon the cross and defied it, he laid the land under a curse, and it sank to th...e depths of the sea ! " " And when the waves had done their work, " it was Ilaria, speaking dreamily, " they flowed back, and the ruins rested on a gentle hill. But forever and ever do they remem- ber the sea! " She sighed a little.
" The slope on which we sit is hollow within, " ventured the youthful page. " Behind us is many a love-grotto, tunnelled deep and far. The country folk, when they run the harrow, find great walls. And so none dare come here of nights: strange things are seen!" " Perhaps the waters will rise again some day and swallow Naples and the court, and we shall turn into sea-folk all, " Ilaria said, laughing a little wildly.
