What reading level is The Life of Marie Antoinette book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The countess complained gently, respectfully, and ten- derly, gave signs of uneasiness and chagrin, and adroitly cast ridicule upon her rival, which, falling upon a mind naturally inclined to mockery, almost always produced its effect. Little by little Marie Antoinette came to laugh at her first friend.
More open and less clever, Madame de Lamballe complained aloud, and sometimes with bitterness, and her complaints annoyed the queen. Too great frankness and openness rarely please at court ; hin...ts and half-lights are more successful. The partisans of Madame de Polignac knew this well. They rarely attacked the queen openly; they surrounded her with an almost imper- ceptible network, in which in the end she found herself captive.
They profited by all the mistakes of the superintendent, exag- gerated her faults, cried out against her pretensions, which in- censed the court, against her jealousy, which admitted of no rivalry, and emphasized her timidity, which they called her stupidity. Little by little the queen grew to dislike Madame de Lamballe, and without perceiving it herself, accustomed herself to do without her.
