What reading level is The Lake of Geneva book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Court insisted that the scandal could only be repaired by matrimony, so, amid sighs and groans, the marriage took place. The end was a tragedy. Three years after the w^edding the wife was accused of immoral conduct with an unfrocked priest. The aged Bonivard himself did not charge her and, indeed, pleaded for her and gave evidence on her behalf. The sentence passed by puritan Geneva was terrible. The ex-priest was beheaded and the runaway nun was sewn up in a sack and thrown into the Rhone....
Bonivard died in 1570 at the age of seventy-seven.
183 XXIX BARBILLE OF CHATELARD BEHIND Clarens, on a round and very prominent hillock covered with vines, rises the Castle of Chatelard. Its position is commanding and its isolation impressive, for it stands alone, like a sentinel, in the vast opening of the valley. The chateau consists of a massive square building of stone capped by a high-pitched roof. A line of machicolations crowns the biscuit-yellow walls, the upper portions of which are of brick, as in the Chateau of Lausanne, to which Chatelard bears a close resemblance.
