What reading level is The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When she was no more than twelve years old she had gone to the grotto of the three statues, and was at that crucial age when the sudden burgeoning of an adolescent’s sexuality finds itself both expressed and assuaged by an access of religious fervour. She had fallen in love with Christ. He was forever before her imagination, clothed in glory but His wounds still bleeding, and she felt herself enclosed both by His enveloping feminine gentleness and His powerful masculine protection. Her face radi...ated serenity and contentedness such that her fresh beauty aroused no lust in men who saw her, and even at that age she possessed the extraordinary ability to love animals in a way that was entirely foreign to the community of peasants to which she belonged, a community which treated its beasts with casual cruelty at worst, and with exploitative indifference at best. In those days she had a capuchin monkey as a pet, which she used to carry on her chest, its arms about her neck in an embrace of perpetual affection, and its cheek against hers.
