Also - what did you learn from the book? What knowledge have you gained by reading this book? Also, how would you rate it? On a 10th grade level, should a 10th grader read this or "Salt: A World History?" Thanks for your help.

It's good, and not to difficult, certainly a tenth grader should be able to handle it. It was far more enjoyable reading it than watching that endless mess of a movie they made from it.

I think the book is more suitable for 12th grade--try the movie first--enjoy the Mozart in it--then get to the book. Dinesen is not an easy read........some of her work is definitely not for teenage readers.

10th graders should be able to read it. They will need some guidance as to what to do with the content.
Give them their choice of readings. That usually makes for happier and harder working kids.
If all else fails you can just taser them a few times. That will get their attention but good.

it's about relationships--reality versus hopes, expectations and learning non-attachment and emotional independence, at least in part. why not give it a try. and, check out the film with meryl streep and robert redford, great acting, great cinematography.
