What reading level is The Sisters-In Law; a Novel of Our Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was seething with disgust and fury. How dared he? Her own, her exclusive property, inherited and separate. . . . She felt at this moment exactly as she would have felt if her jewel coffer instead of the dispatch box had been rifled ; it was the instinct of possession that had been outraged. What was hers was hers as much as the hair on her head or the thoughts in her mind ... an instinct that harked back to the oldest of the buried civilizations . . . she wondered if any socialist really had... cultivated the power to feel differently. She was quite certain that if Kirk- patrick should see a thief fleeing with his purse he would chase him, collar him, and either chastise him then and there or drag him to the nearest police station.
And the thief was her husband, the man of her choice.
Alexina felt that possibly if a brother had stolen her money she would have been less bitter because less hu- miliated; one did not select one's brothers. . . . And if she had still loved Mortimer it would have been bad enough, although no doubt with the blindness of youthful passion she would immediately have begun to make ex- cuses for him, reeling a blow as it would have been.
