What reading level is The Young Desire It book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The author, Kenneth ‘Seaforth’ Mackenzie, was not quite twenty-four. He had begun the novel at seventeen. ‘Five weeks of solitude,’ he tells us in a dedicatory preface, ‘saw the making of the whole thing.’ Like many first novels, The Young Desire It draws on the author’s own experience. Mackenzie grew up on an isolated property south of Perth, and until he entered Guildford Grammar at thirteen shared the company only of his mother, a younger sister and a few household servants. He was left to ro...am, barefoot and as he pleased, in the local countryside, whose changes of light and weather he seems to have taken, like his protagonist Charles Fox, as aspects of his own nature and feelings. This accounts for the intensity of the book’s nature writing, which is more disciplined than anything in Lawrence who is clearly an influence, but also more inward and passionately lyrical. Charles’s first encounter with society, in the close, intrusive and sometimes threatening form of a boys’ boarding school, accounts for his puzzled outsider’s view of his fellow students and teachers.
