What reading level is The Signature of All Things book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am not condemning you. I was as selfish as you, when I was your age. It is the custom of the young to be selfish. Now I am wiser. It’s a pity we cannot put an old head on young shoulders, or you could be wise, too. But someday you will understand that nobody passes through this world without suffering—no matter what you may think of them and their supposed good fortune.”
“What are we to do, then, with our suffering?” Alma asked.
This was not a question Alma would ever have posed to a minister..., or a philosopher, or a poet, but she was curious—desperate, even—to hear an answer from Hanneke de Groot.
“Well, child, you may do whatever you like with your suffering,” Hanneke said mildly. “It belongs to you. But I shall tell you what I do with mine. I grasp it by the small hairs, I cast it to the ground, and I grind it under the heel of my boot. I suggest you learn to do the same.”
* * * And so Alma did. She learned how to grind her disappointments under the heel of her boot.
