What reading level is The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE FOREST’S edges dissolve and blur. A black dog waits on an outcrop. He scents a fox’s hot stink.
His silver-haired mistress struggles up the twisted path.
A dead branch cracks under a deer’s hoof across the loud stream.
An owl cries, in this cedar or that fir … once, twice, near, gone.
Otane carries a twentieth of a koku of rice, enough for a month.
Her youngest niece tried hard to persuade her to winter in the village.
The poor girl needs allies, thinks Otane, against her mother-in-law.
“She...’s pregnant again, too, did you notice?” she asks her dog.
The niece had charged her aunt with the crime of making the entire family worry about her safety. “But I am safe,” the old woman repeats her answer to the root-truckled steps. “I’m too poor for cutthroats and too withered for bandits.”
Her niece then argued that patients could consult her more readily down in the village. “Who wants to trek halfway up Mount Shiranui in midwinter?”
“My cottage is not ‘halfway up’ anything!
