What reading level is The Wife of the First Consul book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The First Consul of 1803 was very unlike the general of the early months of 1796. When he married, Bonaparte was puny, delicate, ailing, penni- less, with no other reputation than that of the 13th JOSEPHINE IN 1803. 241 Vend^miaire ; and Josephine's friends thought that she had made a very poor match. But in 1803 things had changed very much. Bonaparte had acquired all the ascendancy that can be given by the sover- eign power in the hands of a man of genius. All the fashionable beauties regarde...d him with enthusi- asm, and thus destroyed poor Josephine's peace of mind, while she was unable to arouse any spark of jealousy in him. Even if she had wished (and she certainly never did) to make him jealous, she could not commit the slightest imprudence. Since she was under continual observation at the Tuileries and at Saint Cloud, she could not repeat her foolish actions of the time of the Directory ; the slightest coquetry, even in words, was forbidden ; and Avhen Bonaparte's brothers were trying to persuade him to take steps towards divorce, she could not, by word or deed, give them the least ground for criticism and con- demnation.
